Snap Crackle And Pop!
Ok, this weather encourages just about everything except working out and eating healthy (we wont get into specifics). My biggest downfall during the colder months is that I love to bake…and yes, I only tell you about the organic flax seed preservative free muffins…but who are we kidding, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about popping a tray of saturated fat rich Toll House cookie dough into the oven.
Last week I found a happy medium to put my sweet tooth in check without going overboard on the sugar – throwback to your middle school lunch box for a memory of those gooey Rice Krispie Treats. With 153 calories, 3.3 grams of fat and 0 grams of sugar per 37 gram bar, these are a quick fix plus cheap to make. I cut down the old school Kellogg recipe from 3 tablespoons butter to 2 (no one will notice the difference – they come out a little crunchier) and microwaved with one 10 oz package of marshmallows – rolled in 6 cups of Rice Krispies and flattened into a square non stick brownie pan. 1 recipe made 12 pretty large bars
I made these this weekend!
