Ingredients
- 5 cups Puffed rice cereal
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until well blended.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine coconut oil and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated and fully combined.
Step 5
Add the puffed rice cereal to the mixture and gently fold to ensure all the cereal is well coated with the cocoa mixture.
Step 6
Spread the cocoa-coated cereal evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a single layer to promote even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the coco crispies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The crispies will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the cocoa crispies to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a cereal with milk or as a tasty snack on its own!
