This version is lower in sugar than the store-bought kind.
These rice bars are a hit with kids, who love the peanut butter-chocolate chunk combo as well as the raisins and coconut flakes. Adults appreciate the interesting addition of orange zest and the extra protein and fiber from the nuts and seeds. “They’re perfect for when that afternoon sugar craving sets in,” says Marissa Lippert, RD, a New York City-based nutritionist and owner of Nourish Baby, a food-delivery service for parents and newborns.
