Ingredients

3 cups One Degree Organics Sprouted Brown Rice Crisps
3/4 cup all-natural peanut butter/ almond butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Chocolate topping: 
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 Tbsp coconut oil
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Directions

Line a square 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it with coconut oil.

Place a medium pot over low heat and add peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to it. Stir the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth, then set it aside.

Take a large mixing bowl and add rice cereal to it. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl and fold it in until all the cereal is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish using a spatula. Press it down firmly with the back of the spatula to evenly spread the mixture.

Place the dish in the fridge to cool while you prepare the chocolate topping. In a small glass bowl, add the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave at 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until the chocolate is completely melted. This usually takes 3, 30-second increments.

Retrieve the rice krispie treats from the fridge and drizzle the melted chocolate on top. Gently tilt the baking dish to coat the chocolate top in an even layer. Place the dish back in the fridge and let it cool until the chocolate has fully set. This may take 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Once chilled, cut the rice krispie treats into squares, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and enjoy!

Storage: Store rice krispie treats in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze them in an air-tight container for up to one month.
