No child can resist crunchy sweets, especially when they're homemade. This puffed rice snack is healthier than store-bought bars, as it's filled with dried apricot pieces and seeds, and the melted marshmallow mixture uses agave syrup instead of sugar. It's perfect for taking to school or on the go, and it's also a great snack after a workout.
