Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups refined sugar-free chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice crisp cereal
- 1/2 cup raw creamy almond butter
- 3 tablespoons maple sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of fine salt
Method
Step 1
Add chocolate to a microwave safe container and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir well. Chocolate should measure about 1 cup when melted. You can also melt on the stovetop with a double boiler. Do not overheat the chocolate. I typically melt the chocolate about 3/4 of the way and then stir off the heat to melt the rest.
Step 2
Add melted chocolate to a large mixing bowl along with the brown rice crisp cereal, almond butter, maple sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir well to combine. Transfer the mixture to an 8×8 baking pan lined with parchment paper in both directions. Smooth with a mini spatula into one even layer.
Step 3
Freeze for 10 minutes. Lift the parchment paper from the baking pan and use a sharp knife to cut into twelve bars (five cuts in one direction and one cut halfway through in the other direction). Enjoy immediately.
