Healthy Gluten Free Rice Crispies (Shirley Plant)

When I was younger and could eat gluten, Rice Crispies were always one of my favorite treats. I know they weren't the healthiest things in the world but I did know they tasted amazing! Even now it's something I still crave but with the added gluten and sugar, I sadly could never have it. That was until Shirley Plant gave me this awesome gluten-free recipe to make these Rice Crispies. They are also dairy and sugar free so that makes it pretty healthy too! I'm very happy to be able to share this gluten-free recipe with you from Shirley Plant and I hope it's something you can enjoy! I plan on making these often since it's such an easy recipe to make that can finally fulfill my rice crispy cravings too.

Free of dairy, wheat, yeast, eggs, corn, sugar, soy, nightshades and gluten!
