Description

Ingredients

• 4 cups (100 g) puffed rice (whole-grain is best) OR gluten-free rice crispy cereal
• 4 ouces (100 g) dark chocolate (dairy- and refined sugar-free if possible)
• ½ cup (120 g) all-natural peanut butter (or another nut or seed butter)
• ½ cup (160 g) maple syrup
• dash of salt (omit if peanut butter contains salt)
• optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla

Directions

• Combine all ingredients except for the puffed rice in a medium bowl and microwave till the chocolate melts. I like to do this in 30 second increments and stir the mixture after each one (this helps overheating and thus ruining the chocolate).
• Once everything is liquified, whisk all ingredients until combined and set aside to cool slightly. You want it to still be liquid but not too hot (you should be able to hold your finger in it).
• Prepare an 8x8 or 9x9 pan by lining it with parchment or plastic foil.
• Transfer the puffed rice or rice cereal into a large bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over it.
• Mix thoroughly and pour into the prepared pan.
• Spread evenly and push into the pan to make sure everything sticks together nicely.
• Let set in the fridge or freezer till firm.
• Cut into squares and enjoy!
