Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup 100% pure maple syrup
• ½ cup brown rice syrup
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 6-7 cups rice cereal (regular or brown rice)
• Salted Caramel Topping
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• ¼ cup 100% pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• ½ teaspoon flaked sea salt (like Maldon)

Directions

• Line an 8x8 glass container with parchment or wax paper
• Place the ½ cup maple syrup and brown rice syrup in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring often, taking care not to burn. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until reduced by almost ⅓-1/2.
• Whisk in the peanut butter, coconut oil and salt and cook until smooth.
• Add the rice cereal, 1 cup at a time, until mixture clumps together and liquid is absorbed.
• Press the cereal into the prepared glass container and press down in an even layer.
• In a separate small sauce pan, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup and peanut butter over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes until thick and reduced by almost half. Pour on the hippie treats and using an offset spatula, spread to an even layer. Sprinkle with sea salt.
• Let sit for at least 3-4 hours until hard. These get even better the next day!
