Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Tbsp (42 g) butter
1/4 cup (60 g) pureed sweet potato (about 1 small sweet potato)
1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
11/2 tsp (4 g) ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup (50 g) toasted pecans, chopped
1 (10-oz) bag marshmallows
6 cups (210 g) brown rice cereal

Steps:

  • Have an 8 x 8-inch or a 9 x 9-inch baking dish lined with parchment and sprayed with cooking spray nearby.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the pureed sweet potato, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and toasted pecans. Add the marshmallows and continue to cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the marshmallows are melted. Add the cereal, folding gently to combine, and then, working quickly before the mixture stiffens, transfer it to the prepared baking dish, packing the mixture into the pan with a sheet of parchment or wax paper to make an even and dense layer. Allow to cool completely to harden, about 30 minutes, then slice into nine 3-inch squares and serve.

I love that this recipe is gluten-free. My son has celiac disease and it's hard to find treats that he can eat.

These were a little too dry for my taste, but I think I might have overcooked the sweet potatoes.

These were a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I also added some chocolate chips and they were amazing!

These were so easy to make and turned out great! I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and they were still delicious.

I tried this recipe because I was looking for a healthier alternative to regular Rice Krispie treats. These were just as good, if not better! I will definitely be making these again.
