Coconut Oil Rice Krispie Treats

Hi. My name is Ali. And I watch “The Bachelor”.

I know, I know. Most of my friends give me the serious raised eyebrow when they find out that every Monday night (or usually, every Tuesday morning on Hulu) I tune in along with millions across the nation who just have to see if Bachelor Sean will once again say that “this process is working for him”. Or to watch the incredible dates that he has “planned” for these eager girls. Or, to hear my favorite line (that is used 3928 times in every single episode) — that they are all just so optimistic that they will “find love”.

Yes, I am one of the many that roll my eyes the entire way through and am well-aware that the producers have coached and scripted practically each line of this dating phenomenon. But after (yes) countless seasons, I will confess that I’m still a fan. And love my weekly dose of American TV Dating Sociology 101. (Especially with Sean – he’s surpassing my expectations!)

Without a doubt, though, the best thing about the “Bach” is watching it with friends! I have more friends than would probably admit who watch the show, and I love our weekly texts, calls, and the occasional in-person viewing party to oh-so-passionately weigh in with our opinions about “THE MOST DRAMATIC SEASON EVER”.

A few weeks ago, I had the rare opportunity to watch an episode live with a group of friends. (Yay for a Tuesday night episode!)  And my friend, Bree, surprised us with these Coconut Oil Rice Krispie Treats. I’m pretty sure they might have stolen the show that evening. She just subbed in coconut oil for half of the butter, and they were crazy good!! Even those who were iffy about coconut gobbled these up. Ridiculously good.

Ok, does anyone else admit to watching The Bachelor? Who are you rooting for this season?
