No Bake Gluten Free Crispy 'Cupcakes'

December 09, 2019 S Malik 8 Comments

Delicious rice cereal shaped into cupcakes for a gluten, dairy and egg free treat. Topped with dairy free chocolate frosting. These No Bake Gluten Free Crispy "Cupcakes" are super easy to make and are done in no time.

My kids are always excited when we make rice cereal treats and are super helpful too. So I make these quite regularly. Do your kids get excited when making rice cereal treat? Usually when I make these, it's just a piece of square shaped treat but this time I changed things up and shaped them into cupcake with a chocolate layer in between and on top. To give a more realistic cupcake look use a piping bag for the chocolate. I didn't use one because I have a piping tube which broke, so I have yet to buy a new one.

For added flavor I added wow butter, as a peanut butter substitute. The combination of marshmallow and "nut" flavor is just delicious. We almost ate the whole mixture even before we started making these treats. For those of you who do not know what is wowbutter, it is a soy based peanut flavored spread and no this post is NOT SPONSORED by them, I bought the jar of wowbutter myself. You can use any of your favorite allergy friendly seed butter.
