Red, White, and Blue Rice Krispies Treats

Bakery Style Red, White and Blue Rice Krispie Treats 


Ingredients:

10 tbsp of butter 

20 cups of mini marshmallows, divided 

1 tsp of salt 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

12 cups Rice krispie cereal 

3  1/2 oz of dried blueberries 

 1 oz of freeze-dried strawberries 


Line 1/2 sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl measure out 12 cups of Rice crispy cereal. In a small bowl, place 4 cups of mini marshmallows and set aside.


In a large stock pot, put butter and remaing 16 cups of mini marshmallows, cook over medium low heat until melted. Once marshmallows and butter are melted together, add in salt, vanilla extract, blueberries, and strawberries. Pour marshmallow mixture over the cereal and start to combine. Then add in mini marshmallows. If you add them in too soon they start to melt. 


Next pour the mixture into the parchment paper lined sheet pan. I like to spray my spatula with a little oil so it doesn't stick to the mixture as I try to Pat it into the pan. Let the mixture cool for 30 minutes and then slice into bars.

Stevia Sweetened Pumpkin Bread

This was by far and away most popular post on my Blog Healthy Gourmet on the GO. I was thrilled to get nearly 3,000 views on this post, which is nothing compared to other bloggers but I was proud of the accomplishment. The other day I received a call from a customer asking how she should bake a pumpkin bread with stevia. I was embarrassed that I could not give her a good answer. After a few failed attempts to make a sugar free black bean brownie I had given up on baking with stevia. After a little digging online I found a good looking conversion method for stevia which I shared with her. She was afraid to make something that wouldn’t turn out so she scrapped the idea. In my typical fashion I announced to my husband the next morning (he was barely awake) that after laying awake I had decided “ Today I will make a stevia sweetened pumpkin bread!” Those of you familiar with stevia know it can have an after taste. This bread does seem to lose it a bit overnight, so it is better the next ...
