You could try with honey, its just not as thick as brown rice syrup. Brown rice syrup is found at most health food stores. Would most definitely be at Whole Foods.

Hi Angie! I’m totally aware of all the info out there about brown rice and arsenic etc. We don’t consume brown rice syrup on a daily basis, so I totally don’t see a problem with it as an occasional treat. I also like that its also much lower glycemic index than other types of sweetener. I haven’t tried it myself, but you might be able to sub the brown rice syrup for yacon syrup or coconut nectar.

Thanks for reporting back on the maple syrup! Good to know it works! I find brown rice syrup much thicker than maple syrup, so it really helps with holding it together well. Still tasty regardless, though 🙂

I tried making them with maple syrup. They don’t stick together like “glue” the way the marshmallow-recipe crispies stick together, but they stick together well enough to eat them from the fridge as a bar. A few crispies fall off here and there. Nothing too terrible if you aren’t eating them on the go.

Hmm, I’m not sure as they’ve never lasted for that long in my house. Haha. If you kept them in the fridge, they probably would last at least a week and a half (perhaps even longer).

it pretty clearly says 1 square… not all 16..

You can try it, but I don’t think they will hold together very well…as brown rice syrup is much thicker than honey and maple syrup.

cool, thanks.

It’s not at Trader Joes…it’s at all regular grocery stores. Beside the regular rice krispies.
