VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE
Every birthday growing up, my kitchen would turn into the "rice crispy treat factory" where my mom and I would pump out batches of these ooey gooey treats to bring to my classmates. They really are the perfect celebratory sweet because you can customize them any way you please for every special occasion ~ from chocolate drizzle to rainbow sprinkles to dried fruit like we do here. This recipe is a little lighter than the buttery ones, but I promise you will not even notice a difference. We're keeping these vegan & gluten-free and adding in freeze-dried strawberries to elevate this tried and true classic!
