For those of us with chronic illnesses such as cystic fibrosis, our experiences with healthcare providers are different than the typical professional relationship. Inpatient for weeks at a time, sometimes months; the hospital becomes a second home. Various staff sit with us in our pain, wipe our tears (or our butts), and bring laughter to our chaotic situations. These people are our family.

We realize this is an unprecedented time in our nation, and across the world, as we face a pandemic which greatly affects so many people, those with Cystic Fibrosis are one of the most vulnerable. For people with CF, every precaution should be taken to reduce exposure and help prevent infection.

I love a good rice crispy treat and I also really love peanut butter, so I decided to combine the two and make this healthier peanut butter rice crispy treat topped with a chocolate drizzle and flaky sea salt.

When you’re looking for a healthier, delicious, and easy treat to make, these are it!

Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats 

I was in the middle of traveling when I received a message asking if I was in the St. Louis, Missouri area. My original intent had been to only visit a dear Cystic Fibrosis Warrior friend in Indiana and drive back to Texas the following day. However, in this instance it did not matter that I was on my way to spend the night at a hotel in Tennessee. When Miranda Hutson contacted me about a potential lunch with her in a state from which I was expecting to soon exit along Interstate 55, I made the instantaneous decision to alter my plans.
