Rice Krispie Bars (Keto + Sugar-Free)

For my daughter's birthday I wanted to give her a special day filled with yummy treats, desserts and foods she loves. After-all what birthday party (especially a kid one) is complete without massive amounts of sugar, candy and sweet treats, right? It is something of a cultural thing really. When you go to a party or an event, all diets are "on-pause" or those days instantly become a "cheat day" (you know what I'm saying.) And if you knew me before my keto journey, you knew that a "dessert bar" was a very common, if not a standard thing, at our parties.

However this now sugar-free mama has a loud, convincing voice inside yelling, "There must to be a way to achieve this without bringing back the processed food crap we painstakingly worked so hard to get out of our house." If it was possible, I wanted to do it.

So thus began my journey to think up foods that I could do a keto remake of. I loved rice krispies as a child and love how now they are so artisan looking half dipped in chocolate and swirled with white chocolate or sprinkles. This seems like a good keto remake candidate.

Now that the market is slightly saturated with keto cereal companies that are basically using protein powders and alternative sweeteners, there are many options to choose form that are low carb and tasty. These cereals are crunchy and quite convincing, living up to my 80's childhood standards of cereal.

The Highkey brand recently launched a cereal line to add to their product repertoire. Their new "frosted" flavor is also in the shape of a rice krispie. Enter inspiration! It would be perfect and look like the real deal!

Ingredients:
1/2 batch keto marshmallows (Click here for our recipe)
1 box Highkey brand frosted cereal (Or other keto cereal flavors you like)
2 tablespoons grass-fed butter**
Sugar free sprinkles (optional)

Directions:
**If you've already made your marshmallows, then follow the steps below:
  1. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and half a batch of keto marshmallows.
  2. Once the marshmallows are melted pour the box of cereal into the mixture and stir to coat the cereal.
  3. Transfer to mixture into a tray and use parchment paper to press it flat.
  4. Allow the mixture to harden and cool.
  5. Cut and serve immediately or dip your keto rice krispie bars in dark chocolate. Sprinkle some sea salt flakes or sugar-free sprinkles on top. Enjoy! 

**If need to make marshmallows first, then follow the steps in our recipe for Sugar-Free, Keto Marshmallows here.
  1. After step 6, instead of preparing a dish to set your marshmallows, you will pour your cereal in a bowl with half the mixture.
  2. Stir the cereal to coat.
  3. Then place cereal mixture in a glass dip, pressing with parchment paper to flatten.
  4. Cut the rice krispies in squares and decorate as suggested or eat as is.

TIPS
  • I prefer making these with a fresh batch of marshmallows. The reason is that the marshmallow filling will have already been cooled slightly during the mixing process helping to keep the cereal slightly more crunchy. Remelting already made marshmallows and butter works too, just know with keto cereals and their ingredients, the cereal will get less crunchy.
  • Store these in an airtight container in your countertop for about a week.
