Ingredients

• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
• 1 cup honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional for melting chocolate)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, add the crispy rice cereal and chia seeds (if using). Pour the almond butter mixture over the cereal and mix with a spatula until evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 6

If using dark chocolate chips, melt them with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the top of the bars.

Step 7

Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 8

Once set, cut into 12 equal-sized bars using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
