HAI.

What’s that? Was the above sentence (is one word a sentence?) too bursting with energy for you?  You’re feeling a wee bit on the slimy, sluggy side of life tooodayyy?

Well then me hardies (please don’t picture me with an eye patch, a peg leg OR a talking parrot. Although, that would be SA-WEET) you’ve set sail on the perfect part of the sea.

Whatever that means.

Because today we’ve got crispety, crunchety, mostly healthety, but-really-lets-just-say-TOTALLY-healthety-because-marshmallows-are-good-for-the-SOUL little squares that are packed with TTTHHHIIISSS MMMUUUCCCCHHH ENERGY YO.

Like the kind of energy that the energizer bunny runs on. TIMES 12.

Okay. Maybe not that much.  I don’t think any person should be challenging the energizer bunny in the energy department. I mean, the word “energy” is IN HIS NAME.

You don’t challenge that.

That would be like me challenging the “Taylor” brand drinking fountains (have you seen those? They were ALL the place in my high school) to a challenge to see who could spurt water at people’s faces the best.

Right. Hokayyyy.

So, let’s get that really strange and random picture of me spurting water at you, dressed like a pirate out of your head shall we? Instead picture me staring deeply into your eyes and trying to read all the magical memories of your childhood.

Is it possible for me to not be weird and or creepy?  Methinks not.

Let’s try this again.

I am not looking creepily into your eyes anymore. BUT I am reading your childhood memories and I am PREEEETY sure that they involved a rice krispie treat recipe of some sort.  And, if they didn’t…..well, you missed you out.

Sorry about your life.

BUT NOW *suspenseful pause*

We be bring those memories back around, filling them with the SNAP CRACKLE POP of the days when you were knee high to a grasshopper, but making them a little more GROWED UP.

No. We didn’t add Rum.  Although……

Nevermind.

I snu-snu-snuck a whole bunch of GOOD 4 U dried fruit, took out the NOT-GOOD-4-U-BUT-GOOD-FOR-YOUR-SOUL-LIKE-MARSHMALLOWS butter, and swapped in coconut oil, and then added some healthy carby goodness with those flakey pieces of heaven that some brilliant human called “oatmeal.” You know how I feel about any overnight oats or, really, any oatmeal recipe ever. <3 <3 <3

OH and nuts.  You know I LOVE a CRUNCH.

Taylor and CRUNCH sittin’ in a tree…

Don’t tell the Huberoni.  He just doesn’t understand the creepy texture obsession that I have.

But, really, take one bite of these SUPA-growed-up-powerhouse rice krispie treat recipe and I promise you, you’ll be shimmying up that tree and sittin’ with me. NO coffee OR  energy bites required!

    It was too late to tell me not to picture you as a pirate…..*cannot be unseen* Although I dressed as a pirate one year for Halloween and it was awesome! I even had one of those parrots that you see at Cracker Barrel that repeats everything you say. 🙂

    We never really had these as a kid….I wasn’t fond of marshmallows. BUT I got a s’mores craving this week and bought a huge bag of marshmallows, so I actually have them in my house right now!

    I could use roughly 12 of these right now. I’m having a hard time waking up today, and all the coffee in the world doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. These need to come to my rescue asap! Love these tasty treats, girly! Heading over to WholeYum to get the recipe!

    Mmmm this looks great! But I can’t even think about making it because I will eat it all. In one sitting.
    Love your last 2 photos – the three tiered ones. Beautiful!

    Hello cute little energy bars! Would it be mildly inappropriate to carry a tray of these while I run? I mean I’m always looking for ways to energize while I run without stuffing myself full of that disgusting goo stuff. Your thoughts are appreciated. 😉

    • Taylor Kiser says

      That goo stuff = NASTY. I am ALL for running with a tray of treats…you have my stamp of approval 😉 Thanks lady!
