Cereal Treats with a Twist

Quick Tip:  Try making rice krispy treats with dates instead of marshmallows.
The dates will provide the stickiness for holding it all together. Dates are full of fiber and they are also a natural sugar vs. the white processed sugar that is in the marshmallows. Plus these are halal and you can use up your dates post Ramadan! :)

Combine 1/4 cup of "butter"
1 cup "sugar"  (Who out there totally exclaimed "Yay-Truvia!")
1.5 cups of chopped pitted dates

Cook the above over low heat, stir until paste like.

Add:
1 tsp of vanilla
2 cups of your choice of cereal.  (Fiber One is the Bomb! When I first started eating it I joked that it looked like dog food. But I dispute that it tastes great! And there are so many uses for it if you're eating a healthy lifestyle!)

You can even add in some yummy extra's like shredded coconut, chocolate chips or anything you like. SIMPLY AMAZING!

Servings:
About two dozen bars
