60 Calorie Brown Rice Crispy Treats
My Saturday was filled with Lifetime movies and I loved every second of it. I had nowhere to be, nothing to do, and I worked out early in the morning, so that was marked off the list. I have been fighting a sweet tooth for a while, so I decided to make a simple (my favorite word) and light recipe for brown rice crisps with mini chocolate chips.
I stopped over at Whole Foods and picked up mini chocolate chips, 365 Organic Brown Rice Crisps, Elyon Gluten Free Natural Vanilla Marshmallows.
4-Ingredient 60 Calorie Brown Rice Crispy Treats
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps. Unsalted Butter (or coconut oil)
- 3 Tbsps. Mini Chocolate Chips
- 1 Bag Mini Elyon Marshmallows
- 6 Cups Brown Rice Crisp Cereal
Instructions
- In a large pan on medium-high heat, melt the butter, and add marshmallows.
- Pour the six cups of crisps into the pot with the melted marshmallows.
- Transfer them over to a pan.
- Wet the back of a spoon and spread the treats evenly.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
- Wet the spoon again and spread/press the chocolate chips into the treats.
This recipe literally took 15 minutes to make and it’s great if you’re in a hurry!

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
Wet the spoon again and spread the chocolate chips into the treats.
My pan made 28 mini treats.
I was so impressed with how well these turned out. I wasn’t too sure about using a different brand of marshmallows, but these totally did the trick.
This is a great health(ier) treat to bring into the office, for a classroom, or for the holidays. I want to make these for Halloween with little candy corn pieces on top. They are gluten-free which is nice for people who can’t have it.
Luckily I have my brother, who loves these, to eat the rest of them up! I had one with my coffee this morning and it was delicious.

Those brown rice crisps look so delicious and perfect for fall. You’ve actually inspired me to start my own blog. I was logging in there today when I saw your post at the top of my dashboard.
Welcome to the blogging world 🙂 xo & thank you! THESE ARE DELICIOUS!
Is that a 9×13 inch pan? Did you spray it with Pam first? I can’t wait to make them!!
I’ll have to go check the exact size on the pan (whoops for me not mentioning) I didn’t use pam but you can to be safe!
I did your suggested sub butter for coconut oil and it worked perfectly! I put mine in the freezer to have healthy little snack every once in a while! Thanks for the great recipe!
Perfect! I never thought about freezing them! Great idea 🙂
I’ve got a huge jar of puffed brown rice in my pantry just begging to be made into these!! Thanks Taralynn <3
No problem 😉
Looks like a good snacky snacky movie treat. 🙂
Definitely!
This is such a great recipe! I love rice crispy treats and I can’t wait to make this healthier version! Thanks, Taralynn! 🙂
You’re welcome!! Enjoy!
Made these yesterday—OMG. melted the chocolate down instead of the chips so I could get chocolate in every bite. Even my husband loved these. (Slowly bringing him to the homemade side.)
I was bummed I couldn’t find the marshmallows you used but will be on the lookout.
Thanks again!
Omg…that sounds sooooooo good!! You can actually buy them on the internet too 🙂

I made these and they were fantastic! I wanted to share another brand of the natural marshmallows I found at Whole Food. The Elyon are great but for those who don’t want any gelatin (The Elyon use fish gelatin) I found a brand called Dandies that are actually vegan and use a type of seaweed base instead of the gelatin. I haven’t actually used them yet but wanted to share!
I’ll let you know how they turn out!!!
BTW the coconut oil works amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing! I know for sure people will want marshmallows without gelatin! So glad you tried them out and the coconut oil is such an awesome substitute! 🙂
Thank you for this recipe! It’s so good!
you’re welcome!
