As in it is an allergy reason a taste reason? Wondering if looking more for a "traditional rice crispy treat taste or some total different.

SOme rice crispy treat alternitives my family has liked

Date balls made with rice cereal chopped dates and coconuts..
Here is a recipe http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/de...spy-balls.html we dont use the pecans cause DH fusses

crispy treats made with peanut or nut butters we like almond better and honey to sweeten

you can also make then like Aussie or some New Zealand style (I forget which) it is basically the rice cereal with butter sugar and honey their called like rice bubble something.. Ive had them before and they are good but never actually made it myself.
Marshmallows are yummy but the gelatin causes some digestive distress. I've tried vegan and kosher marshmallows, but they seem to be best in hot cocoa as they melt very differently than do the traditional ones.

peace,

Let that cool and mix in some chia seeds and then stir it all together. Spread on a cookie sheet that has parchment paper on it. Put parchment paper on top and flatten it and freeze it for about 15 to 20 min. Take it off the cookie sheet, but leave the bottom parchment paper there and put the whole thing on a large cutting board and cut with a pizza cutter. Store in fridge. It is fantastic. I imagine that you could use any combo of ingredients and get krispy treats using the brown rice syrup and almond butter or peanut butter to hold it together - or even use butter or coconut oil instead of the almond butter.
I took some to work today and shared with some co-workers who loved it.
Thank you, believer. We're doing experimenting with almond butter and maple syrup and that raspberry Peace cereal today. I hope it'll stick into bars. Toasted nuts make such a difference, don't they!?
peace,
