Here is a quick dairy free cereal treats recipe for you. I started making these without dairy several years ago so that all of my kids could enjoy them. I also sometimes use cocoa rice cereal or Cheerios. There are a lot of variations you could come up with, share your creations below. To make these dairy free, I simply decided to substitute the butter in the traditional recipe with naturally refined coconut oil and voila! A pan is gone in minutes at our house!

Ingredients:
- 6-7 cups of Rice Cereal (I also sometimes use cocoa rice cereal or Cheerios)
- 1 24oz. bag of mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons of naturally refined coconut oil
- Optional: a teaspoon of vanilla
Directions:
1. In a large pot, heat marshmallows and coconut oil over the stove on low setting, stirring frequently until melted. You can slightly adjust the amount of marshmallows and oil until you get the consistency you want (you may use less oil, but not more than 2 tbsp.)
2. Next, add vanilla and mix well (this is optional), then add your rice cereal and stir with a spoon until fully combined.
3. I then lightly grease a 13×9 glass pan with a small amount of the refined coconut oil, (you can use a smaller pan, you will just have thicker bars). Empty the rice mixture into your pan. Using a sturdy spatula, firmly press it down everywhere until it is even. I frequently wet my spatula under the faucet to keep it from sticking. Let it cool, cut into bars and enjoy!
Enjoy!!
