Recipe: Vegan Rice Krispie Treats!

VeganRiceKrispieTreat

Hello everyone!

Happy Spring! It might still be snowing in Cleveland, but that hasn’t stopped me from thinking about my favorite sweet treats for the season. Ever since Trader Joe’s released their vegan marshmallows a few years ago, I’ve been obsessed with making s’mores and Vegan Rice Krispie Treats! A 10 oz. bag is just $2.99! Don’t worry—if you don’t have a local Trader Joe’s you can snag some Dandies on Amazon.

My recipe for vegan rice krispie treats is so easy to make, and it’s delicious, too! Give this simple recipe which will have you reminiscing about childhood a try! You won’t regret it!

Happy snacking!
