Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats
Servings 9
Ingredients
- 2 Endangered Species Chocolate Bars finely chopped
- 5 cups rice crisp cereal
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup crushed salted peanuts
Instructions
- Line an 8” square pan with parchment paper.
- Put rice crisp cereal in a large mixing bowl.
- Melt butter in pan over low heat. Add agave to the pan and stir together until combined. Add peanut butter. Stir to combine.
- Let this mixture cook on low for three to four minutes, stirring frequently. It should start to thicken slightly but still be a liquid when you take it off the heat. Take pan off heat. Add vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the rice crisp cereal. Stir to combine. Pour mixture into parchment-lined pan. Press mixture down firmly to be sure it all sticks together.
- Let set in the fridge for one hour. Chop roasted and salted peanuts. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate in microwave in 20 second increments. Stir well between each increment. Stop microwaving when there is still a bit of solid chocolate remaining.
- Pour the chocolate over the top of the rice crispy treats. Spread out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top while chocolate is liquid.
- Let set in fridge. Once chocolate is firm cut into 12 squares and serve.
- Enjoy!
