Ingredients
- 3 cups puffed rice cereal
- 1 cup sunflower seed butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sunflower seed butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt until well incorporated.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the puffed rice cereal, dried cranberries, and mini chocolate chips.
Step 5
Pour the warm sunflower seed butter and honey mixture over the cereal mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Using slightly dampened hands or a spatula, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Step 7
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is set and firm.
Step 8
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the mixture out of the pan.
Step 9
Place on a cutting board and using a sharp knife, cut into 24 bite-sized squares.
Step 10
Store the crispy rice bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
