A fall twist on one of my favorite recipes, Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Bars… PUMPKIN SPICE RICE KRISPIES.
Gluten-free, marshmallow-free, no bake, and so yummy! The peanut buttery flavor with the pumpkin spice and white chocolate is just 👌👌👌
These are also delish with dark chocolate instead of white or you could even leave the chocolate out all together for a more breakfast-friendly version!
For this recipe you will need:
- cereal— I used the Whole Foods 365 brand of rice cereal
- peanut butter— I always go for organic and simple ingredients… typically you want the only ingredient to be peanuts or peanuts and salt!
- honey
- pumpkin spice
- coconut oil
- white chocolate (dark chocolate will work too)
I love this recipe because it’s made mostly with staples you probably already have lying around and requires zero baking!
I typically keep these stored in the refrigerator or freezer. If you keep them in the freezer, keep in mind they will have to thaw for a bit before eating!
