Instructions

Line an 8×8" square baking dish with parchment paper or foil and set aside.

Place the peanut butter in a medium bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until loosened enough to stir easily. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla and stir well to combine.

Add the brown rice cereal and stir until well coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

Place the chocolate in a small bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each one until it's completely melted. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture and spread in a thin, even layer. Top with flaky sea salt and chill for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. Cut into bars, then serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Cereal First 🔥
Lightly toast the rice cereal in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance its crunch and nutty flavor, preventing the treats from becoming soggy.
Balance Peanut Butter Consistency 🥜
Use natural peanut butter and warm it slightly with the coconut oil to ensure smooth, even distribution throughout the cereal without clumping or creating dense pockets.
Chill Strategically for Clean Cuts ❄️
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares, then use a hot, dry knife (wiped between cuts) for clean edges without the peanut butter layer tearing.
Salt the Chocolate Layer Last 🧂
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the melted dark chocolate immediately after spreading it on top while still warm, allowing it to adhere perfectly and balance the sweetness.
Temper Your Chocolate Properly 🍫
Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a double boiler (not direct heat) to prevent seizing, creating a smooth, glossy coating that sets evenly without streaking.
