NOTES: i used smooth peanut butter cause that what i had on hand. These don't quite stick together as well as the marshmallow version. On her cooking show it looked like she added at least 3/4C of the peanut butter. I may try that next time.
Also - Brown rice crisps were only available at Whole Foods. I tried a big ShopRite (that has a lot of natural organic products) and Trader Joe's and no dice...
