For the rice krispies:

• 2 cups vegan marshmallows
• 4 cups organic rice cereal (gluten-free)
• ½ tbsp. Matcha powder or other natural green food color

INSTRUCTIONS

• Making the peanut butter
  • Place peanuts in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 2-3 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid.
  • If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.

• Line an 8×8 pan with wax paper.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the peanut butter and vegan marshmallows on medium/low heat, stirring often.
• Once they are completely melted, remove from the heat and add the natural food coloring until well-combined. Add the rice cereal.
• Place in the 8×8 pan and pat down gently. Allow to cool down for 10 minutes. Cut into 6 rectangles.

• Place a popsicle stick into each treat.
• Coat the tops of the treats with melted chocolate and sprinkles.

• “Glue” the homemade googly eyes with melted chocolate for the eyes and the marshmallows for the bolts. Draw the mouths with more melted chocolate. Allow to set.
