Do you ever find yourself hungry for something a little sweet, but not wanting to go the full-blown dessert route or ruin dinner? Enter the health-ified Chocolate Chip Crispy Treats Recipe. This version classifies as a relatively nutritious, hybrid snack-treat that is not too sweet, yet slightly indulgent.

So what makes these different from your ordinary Snap, Crackle, and Pop version? Let's see ... no refined sugars, in fact pretty low in sugar overall; two whole grain cereals for the price of one; coconut oil instead of butter or margarine; a little flax seed and nut butter for good measure; and, well, chocolate is a health food now, right? Plus, it is natural dairy-free (casein-free) and can be made vegan and gluten-free in a pinch. See the full post on One Frugal Foodie for the recipe.
