Sunflower Butter Crispy Treats are a delicious variation of the classic crispy rice treats, but instead of using peanut butter or marshmallows, they incorporate sunflower butter. Here’s a basic recipe to give you an idea:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup sunflower butter (creamy or crunchy, depending on your preference)
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness and binding)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×9 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Melt Ingredients: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the sunflower butter with honey or maple syrup, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
3. Combine: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired. Add the crispy rice cereal gradually, mixing until all the cereal is evenly coated with the sunflower butter mixture.
4. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased or dampened) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
5. Cool and Cut: Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles.
6. Serve: Enjoy your sunflower butter crispy treats! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

These treats are nut-free and can be a great alternative for those with nut allergies or sensitivities, while still offering a deliciously sweet and crispy snack option.
