This looks great. By any chance, do you have a similar recipe that does not contain nuts/nut butters? My grandkids are not allowed to bring anything with nuts to school and healthy, kid-friendly snacks are a bit difficult to find.
Thanks!!

I found this on Pinterest today and made it. I LOVE the crisp rice cereal in it! I’ve read other recipes without this, but it really adds something to it! I am thankful that I could make it gluten free (although it’s not always easy to find gluten free crisp rice cereal … I buy Aldi’s brand). Being gluten free is hard, but these bars make it just a little bit sweeter! Thank you!
