Servings: 9 large bars (or cut into 16 smaller bars)
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch salt
- 3 ¼ cups rice crispy cereal
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir the peanut butter, maple syrup, honey, and vanilla together. Then, pour in the rice crispy cereal, chocolate chips and salt and use a rubber spatula to stir to combine.
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang for easy removal, then spray the sides of the pan with nonstick spray. Transfer the rice crispy mixture into the pan, using the spatula to smooth out the top.
- Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to harden. Remove, slice into 9 large bars or 16 smaller bars and enjoy! Store bars in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
*Use all-natural peanut butter with only peanuts and salt as the ingredients. You also want the peanut butter to be a tad runnier/not as thick.
*If you don’t want to use honey, opt for brown rice syrup instead.
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
