Crispy Rice Treats (Minimalist)

Made as an experiment in healthy rice krispie treats, I apparently made the first trial a bit spicey for most palates.  However, for those who could tolerate the spice, they were declared quite tasty.

2 c crispy brown rice

1 c peanut/almond/cashew butter

1/4 c honey/maple syrup

1/2 c peanuts/almonds/cashews

1/2 c chopped dried apricots

1 T curry powder (I will be trying 1-2 tsp next time)

salt and pepper

1/2 c shredded, unsweetened coconut

Combine everything but the coconut, roll into balls, roll in coconut.

Variation:

Crispy Tahini Rice balls:  Omit nuts and coconut.  Change nut butter to tahini and apricots to dates.  Roll in sesame seeds.
