Bad Gone Good: Rice Krispie Treats



Before I got pregnant with Ali, I was a vegetarian.   But during that entire pregnancy; all I wanted was meat.  More specifically bacon cheese burgers, sausage, and beef ribs.  
All with LOTS of BBQ sauce.

Madeleine was a different story.  I turned into a carbivore. My two favorite things were Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet Cake ice cream and rice krispie treats.  I'm not a huge fan of marshmallows and after the 5th batch of treats; I began to feel really guilty about my poor eating habits.  Thus, the creation of my
healthy version of the treat.

This recipe is fast and furious.
It takes less than 5 minutes to make.

1 cup honey peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
splash of vanilla extract
3 cups rice krispie cereal

A splash of vanilla definitely makes these better but isn't 100% necessary.
I didn't have rice krispie cereal in the pantry this morning and didn't want to go buy any.
But I did have a box of *almost* stale Cheerios. Score!
