This Rice Krispie Treats Recipe is a grown up version of the childhood treat that is healthy and packed with energy! A perfect snack!
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!
FRIENDSIES.

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!
Taylor Kiser says
Haha! But, hey, then you would LOTS of energy! 😉
Thanks Aida!! 😀
Michelle @ Modern Acupuncture says
The texture of these babies! They just look so delicious! And I’m game for anything “mostly healthety.” I think you should write a dictionary, called “Taylor’s Food Words – An Adventure.”
Taylor Kiser says
You know what, I think you’re right. BUT only if you would buy it 😉
Thanks Michelle! Glad to know I’m not the only texture freak!
Meg @ The Housewife in Training Files says
Why don’t you just move over in that tree and make room for me?! Totally didn’t mean to rhyme but I guess I’ve got rhythm every now and then….
But these bars. Girl you know I like my homemade energy bars….pinned!
Taylor Kiser says
Yea for unplanned poetry!
YES, these are SO up your ally! Thanks girl!

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!

I know this is an old post, but the link no longer works, and they look so good! Can you please help a girl out?!
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Eileen! I’m sorry, but I no longer have that recipes as it’s almost 7 years old. I’ve been trying to get the Wholeyum site it was on to post it back, but with no luck.
Eileen says
Thanks for trying!
Taylor Kiser says
