Rice Crispy with Ginger & Sesame Seeds

Ginger is a super food so this makes it a healthy snack, in my mind.  I buy ginger in bulk, puree in food processor, and freeze in ice cube tray to always have it available.  I usually add extra ginger to any recipe.  Beef fat or tallow is nice flavor alternative to butter.

Ingredients

  • 8 T (4 oz) tallow or unsalted butter
  • 1 T ginger juice (grate the ginger then squeeze juice out through a garlic press) I will toss in the grated pressed ginger if I'm not         using it for another recipe.
  • 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
  • 8 C rice crispy cereal
  • 2 T black sesame seeds  
  • 2 T roasted sesame seeds 
  • sea salt

Directions

  • Add a little tallow to a 9 x 13 pan for an easy release, set aside.
  • In a large pot add tallow, marshmallows, ginger juice over medium heat until marshmallows are melted.
  • Remove from heat, add rice crispy cereal and sesame seeds until mixture is combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan, press firmly to compress.  Parchment paper or a silicone spatula works to evenly spread it.
  • Lightly with sprinkle sea salt. 
  • When cooled, transfer to a cutting board and cut into bite sized pieces.  For tennis friends to enjoy at the courts, it's easier to transport and enjoy in paper cupcake wrappers.
