Chewy and delicious, these vegan chocolate and peanut butter rice crispy treats are the perfect party snack.
Ingredients
Base
- 3 cups puffed rice

Instructions
- In a big bowl, add all the ingredients for the base layer, except the puffed rice. Mix them well to combine.
- Add puffed rice and stir again until combined.
- Line a 6’’ tray with baking paper and pour in the base mixture.

- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave for 45 seconds, or slowly on the stovetop in a double boiler.
- Pour the melted chocolate on top of the puffed rice once it has cooled. Make sure everything is well covered with the chocolate.
- Refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until chocolate is hard.
- Cut it into 8 large or 16 small bars and serve!
Notes
I prefer to use puffed rice in this recipe, rather than Rice Krispies to avoid added sugar. Regular Rice Krispies aren't vegan as they use an animal-derived form of Vitamin D.
