Ingredients
- 3 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, honey, vanilla extract, salt, water, and coconut oil.
Step 3
Set the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are well combined. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the cocoa mixture over the crispy rice cereal in a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Gently mix with a spatula or spoon until the cereal is evenly coated with the cocoa mixture.
Step 6
Spread the coated cereal evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer to promote even baking.
Step 7
Bake the cereal in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Once the cereal is fragrant and slightly crisp, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.
Step 9
Store the cooled cocoa crispies in an airtight container. Enjoy them with milk or as a topping for yogurt!
