Peanut Butter & Honey Crispy Treats

Jump to Recipe

I’m excited to partner with One Degree Organics for this delicious recipe! These peanut butter crispy treats are have all natural ingredients, some serious peanut butter flavor, and no refined sugar.These peanut butter crispy treats have NO refined sugar and just three simple ingredients!

Life lately, in a word, has been full. I prefer the term “full” over “busy” because full can be so many good things whereas I think busy has a negative connotation, at least in my mind.

But somehow, I actually ended up making two new, incredibly easy recipes this week, one of which is these incredible peanut butter crispy treats.

They took all of five minutes + one bowl to whip up and then I just popped them in the fridge.These peanut butter crispy treats have NO refined sugar and just three simple ingredients!

I’ve never been the world’s biggest Rice Krispy treat fan. I like the homemade kind better than the packaged ones, but they’re still not my favorite. They’re sort of tooth-achingly sweet, plus they’re SO STICKY.

But when I got the idea to make peanut butter crispy treats…I had a feeling these would be a different story. While they’re not exactly kale salad, these have all natural ingredients, no refined sugar, and just the right amount of sweetness, with some serious peanut butter flavor.

These peanut butter crispy treats have NO refined sugar and just three simple ingredients!

 

For this recipe, I used One Degree Organic’s Veganic Sprouted Brown Rice Crisps, which is basically a healthy (and delicious!) crisp rice cereal. The ingredient list includes just brown rice, coconut sugar, salt, and vitamin E for freshness.These peanut butter crispy treats have NO refined sugar and just three simple ingredients!

 

 

One Degree Organics is such a cool family-owned brand that emphasizes knowing your food’s origin. On the back of its products, you can see exactly what farm each ingredient came from! There are even little stories about the individual farmers, which makes me so happy as the self-proclaimed world’s biggest lover of stories.

I love supporting family-owned brands and I’m a huge fan of One Degree Organics, both for the company’s mission and for their products’ taste!These peanut butter crispy treats have NO refined sugar and just three simple ingredients! For these bars, all you have to do is melt peanut butter and honey together, stir in the the crisp rice cereal, and then press this delicious mixture into an 8×8 or 9×9 pan. Pop the pan into the fridge for a few hours, and then slice ’em up!

I initially cut these into nine bars since crispy rice cereal is so light, but the serious amount of peanut butter actually makes these a dense little treat, so I’ll try twelve bars next time.

I share all recipes that I post on the blog with friends when I’m at school, and my family if I happen to be at home just to have more taste-testers and to confirm if a recipe’s a hit or a dud. These were a hit!

    This is a really good idea Liv, because Rice Krispy treats are sometimes a little too sticky for me, but these sound like they would be the perfect compromise. 🙂

      Any recipe where PB is 1/3 of the ingredients has to be good, right?!

    I’m with you on storebought rice krispy treats. Plus, you added peanut butter! That’s so neat that One Degree shows where ingredients come from. I really respect that in a brand!

    I never thought about the difference between life being “full” versus “busy,” but I really like thinking about it that way. My life is very full right now, too, but there’s nothing to complain about. 🙂

    These look awesome, by the way… so simple and without that (in my opinion, kind of icky) over-sweetness of the packaged treat!

    I made something similar, no honey, and used the One Degree cocoa brown rice cereal. 🙂 Peanut butter and chocolate—need I say more? 😉

    what else would be better along with honey to get a different flavor?

      I think peanut butter honestly would taste best because it has the strongest flavor, but if you couldn’t use peanut butter, you could try subbing in almond butter, cashew butter, or another nut butter!
