Black Sesame Rice Krispie Treats

 

I love black sesame and my kids love rice krispie treats so was excited to try this recipe. It was very easy to make. I firs ground up the black sesame seeds and then added honey to make a black sesame paste. I then melted the marshmallows with olive oil on low heat on the stove, added the black sesame paste and finally the rice krispie treats.
