This delicious Rice Krispie no-bake treats are an irresistible combination of comfort and indulgence. It has to be one of the easiest desserts to whip up in a pinch! The Rice Krispies are held together by melted peanut butter and honey, with added vanilla extract and cinnamon. The Rice Krispie are then topped with luscious vanilla pudding and fresh sliced fruit. The result is so satisfying and delicious that everyone will love them!

This recipe originates from my grandmother. She use to make this for all of her grandkids. She loved piling it high with bananas and I don’t think she put strawberries on top but lots and lots of bananas. She originally found the recipe from Weight Watchers, but then she made it not so calorie friendly. Lol

A Healthier Version
There are two ways to make this recipe. The original way to make this dessert is by using Rice Krispies boxed cereal. For a healthier more low fat version you can use Gluten Free Crispy Rice. For the pudding, you could use low fat milk or non fat milk for a calorie-wise version. I personally liked using the Gluten Free Crispy Rice Cereal more than the Rice Krispie Cereal because the cereal is much puffier than Rice Krispies and it also held together better!
