Rice krispie bars

For some reason I developed a love affair with those things after my 2nd DD was born. I kid you not, I had the lunch people at the hospital delivering me 3 or 4 at a time! They were laughing at me by the end of my stay there.

That being said, there is no substitute. If you really love them, even the cheapo knock off ones aren't as good. While they are mostly empty carby sugary calories, they actually aren't a bad choice for a sweet treat. They are fairly low in fat and calories for the volume you get. If you love them, work one into your day every now and then. Don't accept a low quality substitute or you will just feel deprived.

Elmer's glue & egg white.

Edit to add: and splenda; thought that would go without saying, but splenda. or stevia.

I love this, I usually serve them on a small square of cardboard as an extra treat!

You could try replacing the cereal with a healthier one, like a kashi cereal or bran cereal. And you can replace the butter with coconut oil/butter. And for the chocolatey drizzle, try dark chocolate or nutella. But, I do not think the marshmallow are replaceable.

I say eat them in moderaton as a treat to yourself. They make the snack sized ones that are half the size as the regular packaged ones. Instead of making them yourself and ending up eating the whole batch, these would be a better alternative.
