The other day, my son came home from school and told me that I had forgotten to pack him a snack and that his teacher offered him a variety of granola bars that he had passed on.
Not surprised. Sigh, my picky eater.
If it were me in his shoes, I probably would’ve grabbed every granola bar the teacher offered!
I’m seriously wondering if my kid is just never hungry? Needless to say, I began racking my head for a snack I could send my kid off to school with that didn’t contain nuts, and would meet my son’s picky eating needs.
I came up with this recipe on the fly and made it within 15 minutes (minus the chilling). It’s so simple to whip up and tastes delicious too.
Ingredients
- crisped cereal (you can use rice krispies or whole O’s)
- creamy Organic SunButter
- some brown rice syrup
- coconut flakes for texture.
Feel free to change up the ingredients to suit your liking. For fun, I threw in some marshmallows (because, who doesn’t like marshmallows?) and topped it off with chocolate and flaked sea salt. If you’re vegan, omit or use vegan marshmallows.
Crunchy, sweet, and salty — it’s like a peanut butter crunch bar without the peanuts. So you can send it to school with the kids.
The best part? It stores well in the freezer too! You can make these ahead, cut them into squares, freeze them individually and voila… anytime you have a hankering for a sweet snack? BOOM!
