Pumpkin Cheerio Treats

These crunchy treats have all the flavors of Fall with just the right amount of sweetness and spice.

Ingredients:

1 cup creamy or crunchy almond butter

1/4 cup honey

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

3 cups pumpkin cheerios ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Parchment paperDirections: 

Add the almond butter, honey, pie spice and sea salt to a microwave safe medium sized bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and mix well. Stir in the cheerios and chips, until well incorporated. Press mixture into an 8 by 8 inch pan. (Lining the pan with a large rectangular piece of parchment paper, placing the mixture on one side and then folding the paper over to press down works nicely since the dough is so sticky.) Refrigerate or freeze for at least one hour until very firm and then cut into 16 squares. Store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
