Ingredients

For the rice krispies base

1 ½ cups natural peanut butter
½ cup honey
½ teaspoon vanilla
Dash of salt
3 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal

For the chocolate topping

1 cup chocolate chips (we recommend dark or semisweet)
2 tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt. Mix well. Add the rice krispies and mix well.
Add the rice krispies mixture to the pan and press the mixture until it is evenly spread across the pan. Place the pan in the fridge to chill and start to make the chocolate topping.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, 2 tbsp peanut butter, and coconut oil. Microwave for 30-second increments, mixing every 30 seconds, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Take the rice krispies out of the fridge. Spoon the chocolate mixture over the rice krispies and spread evenly.
Place the pan back in the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes before cutting it into 20 pieces.

Notes

To ensure the recipe is gluten-free, use gluten-free rice cereal. To ensure the recipe is dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips. This recipe is not suitable for vegans who do not consume honey (we have not tested this recipe with maple syrup, but think it would not set up as well as the honey). As always, ensure that the specific ingredients you use are labeled according to your dietary needs.
