Let’s think back…exactly a YEAR from today…
Where were you on November 5, 2010?
I KNOW WHERE I WAS! Right here, on the computer, publishing my first blog post!
Today, in commemoration and celebration, I have posted a variation of my first recipe, Natures’ Rice-Krispie Squares.
This variation uses peanut butter and chocolate instead of almond butter. YUM!
After you make these, check out the original recipe: http://cookingfromtheground.blogspot.com/2010/11/classic-recipe-redone-natures-way.html
Nature’s Rice-Krispie Squares
7 cups rice puffed cereal
¾ cup dried cranberries, optional
¾ cup chopped walnuts, optional
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup honey
¾ cup peanut butter (or almond or sunflower butter)
Stir together cereal, dried fruit and nuts (if using), chocolate chips, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Put honey and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 1½ minutes. Stir well; then pour over cereal mixture. Stir to coat.
Dampen hands with cold water. Press cereal mixture firmly into 9 by 9-inch baking pan (or two smaller ones), re-wetting hands if necessary to keep mixture from sticking. Freeze 30 minutes.
Cut into 12-18 bars (depending on how large you would like them), and store in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
