I have that same brown rice syrup sitting in my kitchen right now, you can get it at Whole Foods too. I will have to try this recipe.
I have some brown rice syrup too...hmmm...I need to pick up some more peanut butter this weekend, might as well get the almond butter too and try this recipe...that and a little crisp brown rice cereal, and this sounds yummy! I'll just need to figure out the calories on these before I can track eating them...with just me and my son, I know I'll be eating the bulk of them!
That sounds great.... how in the heck do I miss all of Lundberg's roducts given the stinking farm is only 30 minutes from my house. I am going to need to stop there next time I am passing through and see if they have it there. This sounds soooo yummy!
