Gingerbread Rice Krispie Treats

Just in time for Christmas, I found this recipe on a box of Kellogg's Rice Krispies. A quick perusal of the recipe convinced me it was just like my adapted recipe (See Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats) so it was as simple as adding a few extra spices.

The kids (and parents!) loved them and it was an effort to save some back for a second day.

Instructions:

1. Follow the Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat Recipe, with the exception that organic, unbleached sugar can be used in place of Sucanat to make them creamier.
2. Add 1 tsp. cinnamon; 3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg; 3/4 tsp. ground ginger; and 1/4 tsp. ground allspice to peanut butter and blend well before adding peanut butter to the sugar/honey cooked mixture.
3. Continue following recipe

Optional:
As an "icing", you can melt 2 cups white baking pieces and 1 tsp. coconut oil (or butter) in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Spread this evenly over cereal mixture. Chill until set (about 30 minutes). **Adding this eliminates the dairy free advantages, unless you can find a dairy free white baking "chocolate".**
