Do you know I never had a Rice Krispie Treat until about 5 years ago. Forgive me if I say they were just okay. I loved the crunch but not so much the marshmallow. Well, this recipe has now become my Rice Krispie Treat. To be vegan you can not use Kellogg’s but there are Organic Rice Crispies cereals and Natural Brown Rice Crisp cereals at many of the grocery stores.
There are only five ingredients and no baking for these Rice Krispie Almond Butter Balls. And the chocolate is only for the coating. Very easy to make so you might want to get started on them right now. It’ll make your day.

These were so simple and delicious. I can’t believe they are made with only 5 ingredients. What a great crunchy treat!

I made these for a special occasion this past weekend. Everybody wanted more than one and even two. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Ginny McMeans says
It is man made in the grocery stores by the peanut butter – you may have to look in a natural foods store like Sprouts or Whole Foods. You can make it also by putting almonds in a food processor and blend until it is creamy. Thanks for your interest.
