These are like Rice Krsipie Treats with an added kick. I came up with them a few years ago and they have become a real treat. The best thing about them is that you can always find something in the cupboard to whip up a batch when you feel like it. I give guidelines rather than strict amounts. You can make a small bowl for yourself using a few marshmallows or a whole tray using a bag of marshmallows.
Ingredients:
Marshmallows
Something crunchy like fresh popcorn and/or cereal (rice krispies, cornflakes, cheerios, or similar)
Special Additions: chocolate chips, broken pretzels, broken cookies, nuts, small sweets (like M&Ms), dried fruit......broken chocolate bars.....
1. Heat your marshmallows in a large glass bowl in the microwave for 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your microwave. The marshmallows will puff up. Remove from the microwave and stir immediately.
2. Quickly begin adding the rest of your ingredients stirring rapidly to combine before the marshmallows cool down and begin to set. Any chocolate you add will melt in the hot mixture.
3. When you have added as many dry ingredients as you can, you are ready to either serve clumps of the mixture in bowls, or press into a glass rectangular dish to set. If setting for later, place in a dish, cover, then refrigerate for at least half an hour. Cut into squares as you would rice krispie treats.
***I believe that you can include this recipe in a Nourishing Traditions style diet if you make your own marshmallows and use the mix before it sets. And then adding whole foods such as popcorn, carob chips, nuts, and dried fruit.
****You can add a bit of butter to the mix and butter the rectangular baking dish if you like.
