Aunt Rocky’s Keto Crispy Treats (Low Carb, Keto)

This recipe comes together very quickly, so it’s best to have everything out and measured before you begin.

Line a 9-inch loaf pan with waxed paper.

In a small mixing bowl, melt the marshmallows and butter together for about 15 seconds. Stir to incorporate.

Pour in the cereal, fold together until all of the cereal is coated. Turn out in to the lined loaf pan. Use buttered fingers to smooth the mixture flat in the loaf pan, but don’t pack too tightly.

In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 10-15 second increments, stirring each time, until the chocolate chips are melted. Quickly spread over the top of the treats in the loaf pan, using an offset spatula. Chill until the chocolate is completely set.

Remove from refrigerator, pull the entire batch out of the loaf pan and cut into 8 pieces. Store in an airtight container on the counter. These treats are best used up within a couple of days, or the cereal gets a little chewy.

Tip: I have a similar treat made with pork rinds, which I actually prefer. They are crispy/crunchy and not quite as sweet as this recipe. You can find that recipe on Tasty Kitchen also. It’s called Aunt Rocky’s No Rice Crispy Treats. Find it at: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/special-dietary-needs/aunt-rockye28099s-no-rice-crispy-treats/
