Do you get inspired by things you are eating?
A couple weeks ago I was on my way to pick up
our kids from school, so I grabbed a Cliff Mojo bar
as I ran out the door.
I was just driving along minding my own business
munching away on my bar.
There are quite a few red lights on the way
and as I sat at one of them
a lightbulb went off!!!
The Mojo Bar resembles a rice krispy treat!!!
What a fun way to change up an easy no bake item.
So on the next shopping trip I stocked up on items
to recreate this bar.
There is a difference though…the Mojo bar is a healthy snack
and I would love to tell you mine is healthy too…
but something about adding butter and marshmallows
to healthy items… it kinda ramps up the fat factor.
But that’s ok because with all the extra shopping
you are doing this month, you need a little more
healthy fats in your diet.
Just think of these as power bars to help you
make it through all those shopping trips!
So go ahead and make these and then
put them in your purse for when the cravings hit
and you are stuck in line at the store or post office.
You will thank me later!
Chocolate Mojo Bars
3 Tbsp. butter
4 c. mini marshmallows
3 c. chocolate rice krispie cereal
1 c. sunflower seeds
1 c. chopped peanuts
1 c. chopped pretzels
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips
2 tsp. butter
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the cereal, seeds, peanuts, and pretzels. Lightly press into a buttered 9×13 pan and let set. Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Spread on top. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.

Yum! Now I’m hungry!
Sounds healthy to me. I mean seriously, sunflower seeds? Total health food.

Yum! I love anything with pretzels! Love the salty and sweet!!
I am just lovin the sound of these! Bookmarking now!!
What a great snack! You cannot go wrong with chocolate and rice crispies, especially with all the other yummy ingredients here! Well done.
These are adorable treats.
Love the inspiration behind these, your so smart!!
And your right I do need a little extra plump with all the shopping I am doing, lol!!
Thanks for sharing at Newlyweds Recipe Linky!
These are amazing! Shopping is exercise so I don’t think the extra calories matter.
this totally works for me. they still have some health in them! i recently put together the fact that chocolate does come from a bean (veggie). yes, i also know that i am a little slow..
so happy to have stopped by. These bars are going on my list of baked goods to cook with my kiddies over break. check out my peppermint bark: http://www.myjudythefoodie.com/2011/12/holiday-peppermint-bark/
Delicious! I bet they’re much better and less expensive than the store-bought kind.
This sounds SO good. I NEED to make these soon:)
Marshmallows are fat free so that’s gotta count for something!
