Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Crispy Rice Marshmallow Treats

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons coconut oil
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 4 cups crispy brown rice gluten-free cereal 

Directions:

1. Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over low heat until just melted.
2. Add marshmallows and heat very slowly with little stirring, until the marshmallows are almost melted.
3. Patience is the key here.
4. Stir gently until the marshmallows resemble marshmallow cream.
5. It should be light and fluffy. (If cooked too quickly, the mixture will become tough. It may seem like it’s not incorporating, but be patient.)
6. Turn off heat and pour in the cereal.
7. Gently stir to evenly coat the cereal pieces.
8. Pour into a greased pan and smooth to make level.
9. Cut treats with knife or with cookie cutters and let cool.
10. Alternately, press spoonfuls of the warm mixture into mini muffin tins coated with non-stick spray.
11. Store in an airtight container.
