Clean Crispy Rice Treats

Could it be a clean crispy rice treat recipe?  Yes, it indeed is.  Is it the same taste as the oh so sugary, gooey, birthday party staple?  No friends...not by any stretch.  But, it is CLEAN,  just as sticky and oh so tasty!  :)

1 Tsp. Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil

1/2 Cup Brown Rice Syrup
2 Tbsp. Almond Butter (or Sesame Tahini)
2 Tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
6 Cups of a Combination of Puffed Rice, Puffed Millet, or Crispy Brown Rice
1/2 Cup Raw Sunflower or Pumpkin Seeds

1/2 Cup Currants, Chopped Dried Apples, or Dates

In a large pot, heat oil, rice syrup, and almond butter; stir until bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well with a wooden spoon. Spoon mixture in a 13 x 9-inch pan and press flat. Allow to sit at a room temperature until set. Then, cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature. Makes 2 dozen squares.

Mr. came home and said, "Oh, did you make homemade bird-feed?"
Hmmm, not sure how to react to that...I guess I do have a soft spot
for those stranglers who missed the memo to head south. :)

I have never purchased nor cooked with brown rice syrup...
I have to say, I think I am a fan!

You can leave the guilt behind as you bite into this!  Yum!

Keep it Clean & Enjoy the Ride,
