Healthy Halloween Treats

These Krispy Brown Rice Treats have wholesome whole grain goodness of brown rice and the same yummy flavor as the refined rice counterpart. Halloween doesn’t have to teach kids about ghoulish gluttony! Use this fun season to show your kids that snacks, candy and desserts can be better for you. White rice and flour is nothing but sugar and man-made vitamins. Brown rice and wild rice are whole grain. These family favorites include natural whole grain goodness and they taste the same! Teach your kids that treats can be made healthier too. Click my picture to learn healthy tricks on how to keep your family on the right side of health with good food choices.

Method
Put cereal into a large bowl.
Melt butter & marshmallows in a large saucepan over low heat until smooth.
Pour melted mixture over the cereal and mix well.
Immediately spread this mixture into a 9×13″ baking pan that is lined with parchment paper (or greased or sprayed with canola oil).
Sprinkle M&Ms evenly over the top.
Press and shape treats by pressing down and shaping with parchment paper to fit pan. Cool completely. When cool, cut into squares.
