Description
The best vegan and gluten free chocolate peanut butter rice crispy treats!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups brown rice crispy cereal (NOT puffed rice!)
- 1/3 cup roughly chopped chocolate (or sub chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (totally optional!)
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper (it helps to lightly grease the pan to get the parchment to stick).
- In a large bow, mix together the rice cereal, chopped chocolate, and sprinkles (if using).
- On the stove top in a small pot, gently heat the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt until everything is smooth and well combined. Do not overheat- it should only take 1-2 minutes.
- Pour peanut butter mixture over the rice cereal mixture and gently stir to get everything well coated.
- Add mixture to the parchment-lined baking dish. Use the bottom of a jar or glass to press the mixture evenly into the baking dish until flat. Chill in refrigerator for 40 minutes before slicing.
