Allergy Free Cereal Bars
Allergy free cereal bars (a.k.a. Rice Krispie Bars) are a classic, not-at-all-original but extremely easy and tasty treat to take along to a picnic or potluck. Easy to prepare and tasty are necessary characteristics of any good food, however, the best part of this recipe is that it requires no special ingredients which makes it a great recipe to share with friends and family (especially grandmas who are aching to show their love through their grandchildren's tummies!)
Sure, you can make these bars the traditional way but if you want to make them more interesting try topping with frosting, sprinkles or even birthday candles! You can also use a combination of your favorite cereals (try half Rice Krispies and half Trix for a more colorful bar).
Ingredients:
1- 10 ounce bag of marshmallows
2 tablespoons canola or butter-flavored grapeseed oil
6 cups crispy rice cereal
Frosting (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)
Directions:
1) In a large, microwaveable bowl combine the marshmallows and oil; toss to coat. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until the marshmallows just start to expand. Remove from the microwave and stir the mixture until smooth. Add the cereal and stir until it is coated with marshmallow mixture.
2) In a 9x9 pan (for thinner bars, use a 9x13 pan), spread the mixture out and press (this is easier if your hands are slightly wet or coated with cooking spray). Allow bars to become firm then add frosting and sprinkles, if desired. Look for "safe" tubs of frosting at your local grocery store. Otherwise, try this Sugar Cookie Frosting as a topping.
