Peanut maple rice crispy low FODMAP snack bars! Do you remember Kellogg’s marshmallow rice crispy squares? I say remember, I’m pretty sure they still exist in the world, but I haven’t come across one in a while. Chewy, sticky and deliciously sickly sweet, they were my favourite college snack, bought from the corner shop on the way back to my best friend Tash’s house in EVERY timetable break. Fast forward ten years and although I’m highly unlikely to pass on one when offered, I’d like to think my taste buds have developed a slightly more sophisticated palette (she says, ha).
Less sickly sweet and a little lighter, these peanut maple rice crispy bars have been keeping me going this cold, rainy month. As a freelancer, I work from home quite a lot in January especially and I’m always looking for snacks. These tick all the right satisfy-me boxes, with a nuttiness from the peanut butter, a light sweetness from maple syrup and just the right amount of addictive, flaky salt. They feel gloriously substantial and are low in FODMAPs too, being free from your usual dates and honey. Also great with a good cuppa.
