Chai Spiced Wild Rice Krispie Treats
This is my fun take on a classic rice krispie treat. This recipe uses wild rice instead of white rice. It has a toasty/savory note since the wild rice is fried. This process happens quickly so make sure you have everything ready to go before puffing your rice. Also, please note that the puffed wild rice doesn’t work with wild rice “blends”.
Ingredients:
5 cups puffed wild rice
10oz marshmallows of choice
4 Tbsp butter/ coconut oil
Pinch of salt
1 packed of chai spice
High smoke point oil
Instructions:
Place oil in a pot and heat until smoke point (while oil is heating, set up sieve over a metal bowl & a sheet tray lined with a paper towel)
Once oil has reached smoking point pour a quarter cup of wild rice into the pot. (make sure there’s excess room in pot to avoid overflow)
Wait until all rice is puffed (no more than 20 seconds) and pour all contents of the pot into the metal bowl/strainer.
Transfer puffed rice onto a lined sheet tray to further drain excess oil
Repeat process until you have 5 cups of puffed wild rice.
Melt butter or coconut oil in a pot.
Stir in marshmallows until melted & add in chai spice mixture.
Fold in your puffed wild rice
Dump marshmallow/ puffed rice mixture into a parchment lined tray. (I used a 10 x 10 baking tray)
Allow to cool & set before cutting into desired shape.
