Since going on the gluten free diet I've had to give up Rice Krispy treats. Rice krispies seem like a cereal that would not have gluten, but they add a small amount of malt to it which makes it off limits to me.
But seriously, I want to make these with my son. I want to eat them too. I have childhood memories of the ooey gooeyness of the marshmellows melting and I want to pass it on.
My friend hit up on a brilliant solution. Substitue Rice Chex for the Rice Krispies. Why didn't I think of that?
Here's the recipe.
6 cups of Rice Chex
4 cups mini marshmellows
3 T butter
Melt butter over low heat. Add marshmellows and stir frequently until marshmellows melt. Pour into a greased (or sprayed) 9 x 13 baking dish and press down into an even layer. Let cool before eating.
We had a good time making the treats. I had 2 helpers. My official taste tester and my offical cutie pie.
Oh my, these were so good! My little helper (Doodlebug's friend who was staying with us that day) declared loudly, "I love this treat!" I couldn't have said it better myself.
This looks good I will try it. I was thinking of making a type of trail mix with them. Like with raisins and chocolate chips or something similar. Thanks for you help with the Gluten free stuff. I made the brownies and they were good had a little after taste but great for a chocolate fix. I bought the cookies and will have to make them soon.
