Crispy Brown Rice and Cashew Treats
This is my cleaned-up version of those legendary rice crispy squares. The difference is that these are full of whole grain goodness and nutrients from the nuts and fruit. Try these out on your kids for a guaranteed hit. You can find nut butter at any health food store.

Firmly press the mixture into the prepared baking pan and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 or more hours, or until firm. Cut into squares to serve.
