No-Bake Crisp Rice Cereal Treats By Trader Joes (Vegan-Friendly)

1. 1

   Tip: to make measuring the agave syrup and peanut butter easier, grease inside the entire measuring cup first (I use a glass measuring cup). That way, the syrup and butter will slide right out.

2. 2

   Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Set aside.

3. 3

   Combine the brown sugar and agave syrup in a preferably non-stick saucepan.

4. 4

   Bring *just* to a boil; stirring often with a non-stick utensil.

5. 5

   Continue to stir until the brown sugar has dissolved. Remove carefully from heat.

6. 6

   In a large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar mixture with the peanut butter or seed/nut butter of choice. Mix well. If using, add the chips, too while the mixture is still very hot.

7. 7

   Add the Rice Krispies-type cereal and stir together.

8. 8

   Press the mixture into the baking pan. If desired, decorate the top of the treats with Holiday sprinkles/non pareils.

9. 9

   Cover and refrigerate for several hours to cool and harden. Tip: to harden more quickly, cover well and place in the freezer for approximately 1 hour.

10. 10

    Use a sharp knife to slice into squares.
