19 Nov Salted Peanut Rice Crispy Treats
What is with everything being SALTED flavour these days? Don't know but I'm not complaining, I am actually JOINING the train. You think something tastes nice, then you add a crack of salt and you realise there was a whole other dimension you weren't accessing before.
Anyway, these little guys take a few minutes to throw together and you then pop them into the freezer where they will last approx 3h before you've eaten them all hahaha. They are SO GOOD! Just like the childhood treat you loved so much, except without sugar and with protein.
