On the 3rd Day…

Our next giveaway is sponsored by Erewhon; Erewhon makes a number of great hot and cold cereals most of which are organic, gluten free and/or vegan.  I was sent the Crispy Brown Rice Original, Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice and Raisin Bran to try. The Crispy Brown Rice are just like the ones I had as as child but way better and made brown rice and there is almost no sugar in them.  The Raisin bran was okay, not my favorite but I love how much dietary fiber and protein are in them.  As for the Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice they were made into a wonderful holiday treat.

Chocolate Brown Rice Crispy Trees

Ingredients:

  • 1 box of Erewhon Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice Cereal
  • 1 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1/2 cup barley malt syrup (or an additional 1/2 cup of brown rice syrup)
  • pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Line a a medium sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small sauce pan over medium low heat the brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup and a pinch of salt until thinned. Stir in the peanut butter until combined.
  3. In a large bowl place the Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice cereal and gently stir in the brown rice syrup mixture until combined.  Let the mixture cool slightly and then stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the cocoa crispy mixture onto the making sheet and press into a 1/2 inch layer.  Let it set up for 1 hour and then use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes or just cut into squares.
