Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup rice syrup
  • 1 cup Rice Crispies Cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups granola
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, cherries, blueberries and/or raisins, chopped

Method
 

  1. Place the almond butter and rice syrup in a small saucepan over low to medium heat and warm for 2 minutes or until it becomes smooth and combined.
  2. Place the remaining ingredients (Rice Crispies, granola, and dried fruit) in a bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Pour the warm almond butter mixture into the bowl with the granola mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. A mini ice cream scooper or a tablespoon can help with portioning.
  5. Serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

- For best results, use fresh almond butter that is smooth and easy to stir.
- If the mixture is too sticky to roll, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Feel free to vary the dried fruits; chopped apricots or dates also work wonderfully. For longer storage, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
