These Butterscotch Crispy Rice Bars Are Healthier Halloween Heaven
Jennifer Causey
Treat your goblins to these whole-grain Halloween bars. Nut butter gives the low-sugar, festively decorated Halloween treats 2g protein per serving.
How to Make It
Step 1
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in marshmallow creme and cashew butter. Cook, stirring often, 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cereal until evenly coated.
Step 2
Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Press cereal mixture into baking dish; top with milk chocolate pieces, pressing to adhere.
Step 3
Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Place a heatproof bowl on top of saucepan. (Water shouldn’t touch bottom of bowl.) Add bittersweet chocolate to the bowl; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute or until chocolate is melted. Drizzle over cereal mixture.
Step 4
Wipe bowl clean. Add butterscotch chips to bowl; return to top of saucepan. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring often, 4 minutes or until melted. Add milk; whisk until smooth. Drizzle over cereal mixture. Chill, uncovered, 20 minutes. Slice into 16 squares.
