Ingredients
Rice Krispie Treats
- 3 cups brown rice cereal

- ⅓ cup honey
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp all natural creamy peanut butter

- Stir in the sea salt and vanilla extract.
- Pour the rice cereal into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted peanut butter mixture on top.
- Gently stir until completely coated.
- Add this mixture to the lined square pan. Gently smooth into an even layer.
- Then, microwave the chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Stir until fully melted and creamy.
- Pour this chocolate mixture on top. Smooth into an even layer.
- Chill in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, until set. Allow the bars to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing into.
Notes
- Regular rice krispie cereal is NOT gluten free unfortunately. Therefore, I used Real Cereal Company!
- Do not burn the peanut butter and honey. Once it is creamy, stop microwaving.
- In addition, be careful microwaving the chocolate chips and peanut butter.
- Allow the chocolate coating to fully harden before eating.
- These bars are best eaten within 48 hours for maximum crispiness. However, store at room temperature for up to 4 days.
