Ever since going low carb, I have been dying for a sugar-free alternative to every kids favorite dessert – rice crispy treats! Now, it is here and it is easier to make than you would think. These treats are made using a zero carb protein “rice” cereal, a combination of melted sugar-free white chocolate and vanilla syrup to give that characteristic marshmallow flavor, and butter. Everything is mixed together and spread out in a 9×9 baking dish to set. You will not believe how spot on they taste compared to the real thing.
This is a fun recipe to make with kids. They love the pouring, mixing, and frosting each bar with bright colors and sprinkles.
If you do not want to use the cereal, you can try crushed plain pork rinds instead. I know it sounds weird, but they taste similar to real rice crispy treats once the white chocolate and butter are added. The only downside is the bottom layer can get soggy depending on how well you mix everything.
To get that realistic marshmallow flavor, this recipe uses sugar-free white chocolate. The combination of frosted protein cereal and melted white chocolate creates a taste almost identical to actual marshmallows.

The sugar-free marshmallows from ChocZero work great in a tradition recipe. I use crushed pork rinds and a Carmel marshmallow recipe that I adapted. Sometimes I like to add some nuts. Delish! Janice
Actually rice Crispies has the same amount of carbs. I prefer using that in the recipe as I found the Frosted High Key cereal made the squares overly sweet. I prefer treats to be less sweetened.
Oh no! I cannot find the HighKey “rice shaped/ style” cereal anywhere! Do you have a source that I’m missing? Thank you for ALL you do for us! Your recipes are ALL WINNERS!!
They stopped making it! Which is so sad because it's the only company that was making "rice" cereal. I put a link for a substitute but they are "O" shaped.
