Crispy Rice Treats

Crispy Rice Treats are a delightful Kosher Chinese dessert that blends sweet and savory flavors with a satisfying crunch. These treats are made with puffed rice, honey, and a hint of sesame for a unique twist on a classic snack.

Ingredients

• Puffed rice - 2 cups
• Honey - 1/4 cup
• Sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons
• Unsweetened coconut flakes - 2 tablespoons
• Peanut butter (or almond butter) - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Butter (or non-dairy alternative) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2. Once melted, add the honey and peanut butter, stirring until well combined.
3. Add the salt and mix again, heating the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and slightly bubbly.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sesame seeds and coconut flakes.
5. Quickly add the puffed rice to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to coat all the rice evenly.
6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish, pressing it down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer.
7. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then cut into squares.
