Notes About Recipe

  • Disclaimer: recipe adds some protein to an otherwise low protein recipe. That being said, not all recipes need to be modified to have more “health” (vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein, etc.). Especially if they are a treat, or a tasty snack – which are more about enjoyment than nutrition. This is because a treat or snack implies a smaller portion of food, in particular a treat is something you shouldn’t be having daily. Therefore, it’s effect on what your overall diet looks like should be minimal. You have permission to ignore this recipe modification and enjoy the classic Rice Krispy recipe, without guilt. This disclaimer is also for parents, you don’t need to change treat or tasty snack recipes to make them healthier. Instead, teach your kids (and yourself) moderation and balance.
  • Recipe is based on 3 inch square serving size.
