Pecan Krispy Treats bring familiar rice treats to a new level. Ground pecans and marshmallow coat every inch. A crunchy, sweet treat for kids of all ages.

Girls love food that reminds them of home, at the college where I work. PB&J, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, even spaghetti and meatballs qualify.

Yes, those are considered comfort food. But nothing screams comfort more than dessert. Maybe even a dessert from childhood. A certain cereal snack that gets a smile?

You guessed it. A crispy rice treat sometimes made with colored marshmallows or a bit of chocolate or cocoa.

This time I’ve added something unexpected. Ground pecans.
Pecan Krispy Treats

Millican Pecan Meal adds a delicate pecan taste without any gritty mouthfeel associated with most ground nuts.
