Rice Krispies Treats that are gluten free and vegan? Surely you jest! Do they really exist? Yes, my friends, it IS possible! All you have to do is believe… and know how to substitute your favorites with your new favorites. So whether you call them Rice Krispy Treats, Rice Krispies Treats, or Rice Crispy Treats, you will never know the difference with this gluten free and vegan version.
The recipe is easy – just follow the standard recipe used forever from the “real” Rice Krispies. BUT… with some easy substitutions.
Substitutions
3 TBSP Butter –> 3 TBSP Vegan Butter, such as Earth Balance
1 Package JET-PUFFED MARSHMALLOWS –> 1 Package (10 oz) Dandies
6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal –> 6 Cups Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal
Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal is USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Gluten Free, and Kosher. It is made in a peanut-free, tree nut-free, dairy-free facility.
Dandies Marshmallows are 100% vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher.

How Do They Compare?
We served these at a recent party, and not even the kids noticed a difference. A few people even said they liked these better because they didn’t have that fake sugary flavor to them. SCORE!

If you are going to make them, just be sure to make several batches as they go quickly! In all seriousness, try and eat them in a couple of days as they don’t last as long without all of the preservatives added to them.

Love, hugs, and making another batch.
Thank you for this! I have to be gluten free and always wanted to make rice krispie treats again.
Hi Abigail – We also made them with the Koala Krisps that are gluten free too for chocolate krispies! Hugs, Holly
That sounds yummy. I’ll have to try that too!
Have you considered adding the nutritional value of these pink krispies to your blog? I’m curious about the fiber to carb ratio.
Hi Julia – I think the more I post recipes, I need to get to a point where I can share that info. Hopefully someday soon! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs, Holly
