Healthy Rice Crispy Chocolate Bars for the Table

These Healthy Rice Crispy Chocolate Bars are a satisfying vegan dessert that are short to make and dependable for snacks or as a party treat!

True story: growing up, I HATED peanut butter. Even the smell of it made me sick which was unfortunate because my brother ate it multiple times a day. It’s always been on of the PARTICULARLY few foods that I don’t like. I’m not sure where the aversion stemmed from or why I suddenly got over it but something changed in me about 5 years ago and now A REGULAR HERE peanut butter.

I recently made a peanut butter cups recipe video for a client (which were SO DAMN GOOD btw) that had chocolate, peanut butter, and rice crispies in them. I LOVED the combo and have been craving something like it ever since. SO, I figured that I would make something of my own with the same flavor combo. Enter these Healthy Rice Crispy Chocolate Bars!

This is a familiar, unfussy ‘mix everything into one big bowl’ recipe and Worth keeping it for that.

We melt together all of the ingredients- minus the crispies- and mix it all together.

Try not to eat all of that before the rice crispies get added in!??? It’s difficult but you can do it! (I mean, I managed it). A couple licks are okay.

Then the rice crispy cereal gets added in. For this, you can use the familiar stuff or a gluten free/ organic version. They’ll pretty much all work!

It all gets smashed into a dish and left in the fridge to harden up. THAT’S IT! Straightforward, right?

You *could* store these on the countertop if you’re planning to eat them in about a day. I recommend storing them in an airtight container in the fridge. I found that they lasted better that way and I kind of liked the cold-ness of them.
