Made to look like piles of autumn leaves, these bite-sized, crispy rice treat-like snacks use no peanut butter, marshmallow and no oven, so they are sure to please, pretty much no matter who you serve them to.
Plus, just look at how cute they are!!!

Orange & Cinnamon Spiced Leaf Piles

(approx. 30 mins)

(makes about 24 leaf piles)

1 cup of corn flake cereal
1 cup of oatmeal flake cereal
1/2 cup of honey
1/2 cup of sunflower seed butter
1 Tbsp of brown sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1/4 tsp of allspice
1/4 tsp of dried orange peel + a little extra for garnish
Powdered sugar (optional)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereal, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and orange peel.

In a small pot, add the honey and brown sugar and heat on medium until it comes to a boil.

Add the sunflower seed butter and stir in until it's fully incorporated and immediately pour it on top of the cereal and mix it in.

Form the mixture into small balls measuring about a tablespoon and place them on parchment paper.

Sprinkle on a little bit more orange peel for garnish and serve as is, or dust the piles with a little bit of powdered sugar to resemble a layer of fresh snow!
