At summer camp in Vermont, we used to make a cheater's version of Rice Krispie treats: melted marshmallows, butter, and puffed rice cereal in a scratched old pot over a campfire. Instead of smoothing them into a pan and waiting for them to cool, we'd reach into the pot and grab handfuls, letting it harden as we ate it. It was exceptionally messy, but far more fun to eat. The smokiness of the fire gave the dessert a wilder taste and took the intense sugar high down a notch. Despite the proliferation of high-end, dressed-up Rice Krispie treats, I hadn't tasted any that came close to the campfire ones, until I tried these hippie crispy treats. Bound with almond butter, maple syrup, and bittersweet chocolate, they have an adult, addictive quality to them.
