I have a confession to make .. I’ve never actually made Rice Krispie Treats. These Lucky Charms Krispie Treats are my first attempt. I knew they would be sweet, smooth, sticky, and crunchy. The melted marshmallows mixed with the Lucky Charms make for a sweetly, satisfying treat. I just can not get over how easy & quick they were to make! A perfect last minute St. Patrick’s Day treat for the kids and kids at heart 🙂 These work equally as well for Easter. The pastel colors of the marshmallows are so pretty and festive.

I have a confession…I love pumpkin, but I am far from obsessed. So, when the “all pumpkin spice, all the time” season rolls around, I cringe a little. Only because I prefer my pumpkin a little more subtle. Maybe even balanced out with a little chocolate! These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are sweet with a little cinnamon and spice!
I’m using both milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips along with my pumpkin puree!
I’m also using Sugar 2.0 in these. It’s made from 50% real cane sugar and 50% Probiotic Fiber. Which is awesome because that means we can easily cut our sugar intake in half! Perfect for us, since my son loves to eat muffins before school in the morning!
In addition to some bigger muffins, I’m making some minis as well. This recipe works well for either 12 regular muffins or 24 minis!
