The main downfall to almost always having a stocked pantry is it’s way too easy for me to give into my cravings, which is exactly what happened tonight. I had a serious craving for something sweet, and after staring into my pantry for an absurdly long time, I gathered the ingredients for Rice Krispies treats. But I didn’t stop there. I, of course, added chocolate and peanut butter because it’s the world’s best flavor combination. Then I tried to make myself feel better about this decision by substituting coconut oil for the butter. Though, I must say, it was a great idea because the coconut oil is awesome in these, adding just a hint of coconut-y flavor.
