Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice cereal (gluten-free, if needed)
- 3 tablespoons Peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/3 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/4 cup Mini chocolate chips (dairy-free)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the rice bites out later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Once smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, add the rice cereal. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the rice cereal and stir gently with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 5
Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips, stirring just enough to distribute them throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula or lightly greased hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish, ensuring it is tightly packed.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture has firmed up.
Step 8
Once set, lift the crispy rice mixture out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into bite-sized squares or rectangles.
Step 9
Store the Dairy-Free Crispy Rice Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for extended freshness. Enjoy!
