I'm pretty sure I've mentioned her many times, but I'm going to mention her again anyway. Chocolate Covered Katie, in my eyes, is the queen of everything vegan desserts. I've made a few of her recipe's and all of them turn out amazing, she just knows what she's doing! I'm going to my friend's house later today, and she eats a lot of junk food. As a vegan, it's already hard to eat at a friend's house or out in a restaurant. As a clean eating vegan, it's even harder. So I decided to pack my own food for the weekend (oatmeal for breakfast, nuts and seeds for a snack, luna bars for nutrition, etc. Then I decided to pack some kind of healthy junk food replacement, so I wouldn't feel deprived. So I made CCK's Rice Krispy Treats and believe me, I don't feel deprived at all.
These turned out amazing. She suggests using peanut butter, but I used freshly ground almond butter. OH. MY. GOD. I can't say enough about these, they're amazing. I know they are a little fattening due to the almond butter, but lucky for us the fats in almonds are healthy fats! Just make sure to watch how many you eat (as hard as it may be).
She also has a chocolate version (of course!) and I didn't modify the recipe at all (besides changing the nut butter). Here's the link!
