Ingredients

• 6 cups Brown rice cereal
• 1 cup Natural almond butter
• 1 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by lightly greasing an 8x8-inch baking pan or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the almond butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-low heat while stirring constantly until the mixture is well combined and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Place the brown rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the almond butter and honey mixture over the cereal and gently stir with a spatula until all of the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Let the Rice Krispie squares cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until set. You can also refrigerate them for faster cooling.

Step 7

Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 12 squares.

Step 8

Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
