Ingredients

• 4 cups puffed rice cereal
• 1 cup unsalted almond butter
• 1 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the unsalted almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the puffed rice cereal, dried cranberries, and chopped unsalted almonds until evenly coated with the almond butter mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly with a spatula to ensure a compact layer.

Step 6

Let the mixture cool and set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, or place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 7

Once the mixture has set, cut it into 24 squares.

Step 8

Store the crispy rice bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
