Healthy Walnut Fig Krispy Treats

These Healthy Walnut Fig Krispy Treats are chewy, sweet, and satisfying, you'd never know they're refined sugar free, high protein, and gluten free!

This is yet another attempt of mine to recreate the classic rice krispy treats.  My plan with these Walnut Fig Krispy Treats was to make a sophisticated, yet healthy, no-bake treat (no marshmallows here!).  And may I just add that this was a successful attempt?  Everyone absolutely loved them  🙂

My sister, who is strangely not a sugar addict like me (gasp!) , loved how these were mildly sweet (unlike my other tooth-achingly sweet recipes).

My father, who is abnormally not a chocolate fan, ate these with a smile and no complaints.

My mother, the normal one (aka, a fellow sweet tooth) gobbled one up in no time at all, and quickly reserved another treat for breakfast the next day.

I, the sugar fiend, topped mine off with a few more sliced figs and ate in bliss.

These Healthy Walnut Fig Krispy Treats are chewy, sweet, and satisfying, you'd never know they're refined sugar free, high protein, and gluten free!

Naturally sweet from the figs and brown rice syrup.  Nutty from walnut butter and flaxseed meal.  Bittersweet from the dark chocolate.  Simply sophisticated, decadently rich and oh, so satisfying…
