Vegan Rice Crispy Treats
By Published 12/14/2014

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon vegan butter (a bit more or less as desired)
- 10oz. vegan marshmallows

- Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ΒΌ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Warm a large soup pot over hight heat.
- Add in the vegan butter and melt. Then stir in the marshmallows.
- Stir briskly to melt marshmallows. When they are about half melted with just a few clumps, you can stir in the cinnamon and vanilla.
- Turn off heat on stove and fold in the rice cereal. Fold and lightly smash some of the cereal. Fold for 2 minutes to fully coat the cereal in marshmallows.
- Line a square glass dish, 9x9 inch works well, with parchment paper.
- Scoopy the cereal mix into the pan - all of it, for thick treats! Using another sheet of parchment in between your hand and the treats, press down firmly to flatten treats in dish.

This is so fun! I'd have to say my favourite Christmas flavour is clove! I LOVE cloves, but cinnamon is a year-round fave for me! Love! π <3
Kathy Patalsky says

Same here actually! I drink lemon water with 1/4tsp each of ginger and clove (plus a 1/2tsp cayenne! I like it HOT!) every morning! SO spicy and warming and delicious! π

Stac says
Hi guys love the video we skip the toothpicks and just stick to cookie cutter shapes (sometimes kids get little to excited about eating krispie treats) melted vegan chocolates and dried fruits or trusweets all natural candy canes make perfect decorations for shapes like trees, boots, bells, santa, and of course snowmen!!! Do a New England version with cinnamon ginger pumpkin and dried cranberries too!!
Kathy Patalsky says
good tips π
