Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Brown rice syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Puffed brown rice cereal
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the brown rice syrup and coconut oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, add the puffed brown rice cereal.
Step 4
Pour the cocoa mixture over the puffed rice cereal, gently stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated puffed rice cereal onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 6
Allow the Cocoa Crispies to cool completely at room temperature until they harden and become crispy. This usually takes about an hour.
Step 7
Break the Cocoa Crispies into clusters and store them in an airtight container. They can be eaten as a snack or served with non-dairy milk for breakfast. Enjoy!
