These four-ingredient Rice Krispie Treats are made with nut butter, cacao powder and honey instead of marshmallow and refined sugar.

Because they’re chock-full of healthy fats and protein they’re extremely filling, making them a great mid-day or pre-post-workout snack. This recipe is so easy to make and is a fun, healthy treat for both kids and adults.

Because they’re made with a few staple ingredients, these Rice Krispie Treats are extremely easy to whip up and are a much healthier alternative to traditional Rice Krispies. They double as both a snack and a sweet treat, so we’ve enjoyed them mid-day and after dinner as a dessert!

A few tips:
