I am always looking for fun ways to jazz up old favorites. I grew up loving rice krispie treats, but of course, love peanut butter, too! This recipe for Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat Bunnies is great for adding in that extra protein to a fun Spring themed snack for little ones. The best part is, the peanut butter can easily be subbed with cashew butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter. Any nut butter or seed butter will work. YUM!
Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat Bunnies
These sweet little bunnies would be welcome by kids and adults alike to celebrate Spring or Easter! In a nut free or allergy friendly environment, sunflower butter is a great alternative.
Once Again Nut Butters and Sunflower Butter
I used Once Again peanut butter and sunflower seed butter to make these delicious little bunnies. All of Once Again’s nut and seed butters are gluten free certified, non GMO verified, certified organic, kosher, and vegan.
Once Again Sunflower Seed Butter is made by roasting organically grown sunflower seeds. The roasted seeds are then milled smooth with sugar and salt to create a delicious alternative to nut butters. The peanut butter is made with a similar process, as well as the almonds and cashews and these delicious nut butters are created with love and care!
