Recipe Introduction


Original recipe from "Bambi Goes Green"


List of Ingredients




2 1/2 cups crisped rice cereal, crushed
1 1/4 cups brown rice flakes,
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup date paste (unsulphured), chopped
1 1/2 cup sun butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup pure honey
1/2 cup Fair Trade cocoa powder (optional)
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp pectin
2 tsp baking soda

Recipe



Prepare a 9”x 13” pan by lightly greasing bottom and sides.

In a large bowl, combine rice cereal, brown rice flakes, date paste, baking soda, xanthan and pectin and set aside.

In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix sugar, sunbutter, honey and cocoa and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.

Pour over dry ingredients and stir to evenly coat.

Press firmly into prepared pan. Refrigerate until set (about 1 hour) before cutting into bars.

Yield: 12 servings

Theresa's Notes:
I made the sunbutter bars with a couple of changes. I replaced the sunbutter with almond butter (that's what was on sale this week), deleted the date paste and pectin. The next time I make these I will use less honey. It was very, very sweet.

Verdict.

Gave to a celiac and non-celiac kid. Both agreed they were better than the sunbutter bars from Enjoy Life Foods. Gave a bar to two non-celiacs at work, and they loved them. And my son ate one!!!!! That's the only thing I care about.

Very good for a kid's lunch.
