Healthier Krispie Treats

Line 2 muffin tins with about 18 muffin/cupcake wrappers, and set aside.

Combine peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, and agar flakes in a large saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until smooth, hot, melted, and bubbling just a bit. Add cereal and 3/4 cup nuts (if using). Stir until well coated.

Spoon 2 or 3 heaping tablespoons of mix into each muffin wrapper and press into place with the back of a spoon. Alternately, if you want krispy squares, you can transfer to an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining nuts and refrigerate until completely cool.
