About this recipe:

Fun and easy to make. I altered the recipe - that has been around since grandma's time - to make it fit our modern diets. I also made them sugar free which makes it even more quilt free!

Ingredients:

• 2 c. brown rice crispies

• 10 oz. raw  cashew butter

• 1/2 c. raw young coconut oil, if its hardened make sure to melt it at low temp first

• 1/2 c. sugar substitute (I used agave nectar but for the candida diet use Erythritol)
