Peanut Butter Cinnamon Rice Cake Crumbles (Or Popcorn)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup light corn syrup or agave nectar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed or sucanat
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or chunky peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted popcorn or salted peanut butter)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 8 cups plain rice cakes, just the crumbs or popped popcorn

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 250ºF.

2. 2

   In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the syrup and sugar, stirring and cooking until the sugar is pretty well dissolved. This should just take a few minutes.

3. 3

   Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, salt (if using), and cinnamon. If the peanut butter isn’t melting, place the pan back on the heat just long enough to coerce that peanut butter inches

4. 4

   Stir in the popcorn or rice cake crumbles until well coated with the pb mixture.

5. 5

   Spread the popcorn or crumbles out on a cookie sheet or in a baking dish, and pop them in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once, about mid-way through.
