Vanilla Almond Butter & Chocolate Rice Crispy Bars

I don’t think I have met many souls in this world that have said they don’t have memories of devouring those ooey gooey rice crispy treats. You know, the ones that came in the shiny blue wrappers with the little elves on the front? (Were they elves? .. I think they were elves!) They have forever been a favorite of mine, especially with the memories they bring back; when I was younger, probably around 10, and my mom and dad and I would make our own. I would get so excited, being able to put my own spin on them. I’d add Oreos.. I’d spread peanut butter on top.. You name it. This girl got CRAZY.

I’m sure most of you know by now, that I have a. huge passion for showing others that they although they may be beginning a health journey of their own, this does not have to mean DEPRIVATION. I love showing others how you can easily incorporate healthier ingredients into a recipe to make them NOURISHING and better for you. That’s what I did with these bad boys! All natural, no refined sugars or flours and they’re vegan, paleo, and can even be made Keto by replacing the rice crispies with chopped nuts! So I guess what I’m getting at.. is you have no excuse to not be making these RIGHT NOW and devouring them. ENJOY!
