Vegan Rice Crispy Treats
Vegan Rice Crispy Treats made with peanut butter and chocolate are a decadent and fun twist on the classic. With 5 simple ingredients and less than 30 minutes this easy to make dessert could be yours!
Ingredients
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips melted
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- Lightly grease or line a 8X8 pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add the peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla and stir together until well incorporated.
- Next add the rice crispy cereal and stir until evenly coated in your peanut butter mixture.
- Now press your mixture into the pan really well. You will want to use either a spatula or your hands to do so.
- Melt your chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between intervals until melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate on top of your cereal mixture and spread with a knife or offset spatula evenly.
- Place into the fridge to allow the chocolate to set. Once set remove from your pan and cut into 9 equal squares.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I used Nature's Path Crispy Rice Cereal to ensure these are vegan. Kellogg's Rice Krispies use an animal derived vitamin and are not vegan.
- Make sure you press them well into the pan, this helps the treats to stay together.
