Macrobiotic Crispy Rice Treats

Submitted by Mad-catter

"From "The Hip Chicks Guide to Macrobiotics" by Jessica Porter. I couldn't find brown rice syrup, so I used Organic Blue Agave syrup instead, which is just lovely, like a very light honey. I also used Kashi's 7 Whole Grain Puffs cereal in place of the crispy brown rice cereal because it's what I had."
