Ingredients

  • 3 ounces puffed brown rice, approximately 6 cups
  • 3 tablespoons flax seed oil, plus extra for the pan
  • 1 tablespoon orange blossom honey
  • 7 ounces mini marshmallows, approximately 4 cups
  • 3 ounces toasted slivered almonds, approximately 3/4 cup
  • 1 1/2 ounces coarsely chopped dried cranberries, approximately 1/3 cup
  • 1 1/2 ounces coarsely chopped dried cherries, approximately 1/3 cup
  • 1-ounce dried blueberries, approximately 1/3 cup

Directions

Lightly coat the inside of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch metal pan with oil and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Spread the brown puffed rice evenly on a sheet pan. Toast in the oven for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the rice is toasting, prepare the marshmallow mixture.

Place the oil, honey, and marshmallows in a large mixing bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir until the marshmallows are melted, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Once the marshmallows are melted, quickly add the toasted brown rice, almonds, and fruit and stir to combine. Coat your hands or a spatula with oil and spread the mixture evenly into the pan. Once the mixture has cooled completely, cut into squares and store in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days.

    These are a great change from the boring rice krispy treat of childhood. I was advised by the health food store to not use flax seed oil because it tends to go rancid too fast. So I substitued with grapeseed oil that I had on hand. I also was unable to find puffed brown rice so I used Kashi Honey Puffs which provided even more fiber and more levels of taste. Wonderful bars!

    This rating is from my 11 yo daughter who gives it a 4.5 star. It probably would have been a 5 had we any flax seed oil. We didn't and we couldn't get the marshmallows to melt all the way. No problem; it still bound the puffs together with clumps of marshmallow. She is not a big fan of dried fruit but we found cranberries infused with Pomegranate juice (her favorite fruit and it gave it a nice burst of flavor.
