These delicious chocolate bars are vegan and gluten free. They can easily be made nut free by using sunflower butter in place of the cashew butter.

I used brown rice cereal in this recipe.  Only ingredient is brown puffed rice. You should be able to find it at any health food store.  I have also seen it at Target on occasion.

  1. This seriously is simple to make & satisfies "the chocolate sweet tooth". I tweeked it bit by adding 1/2 tsp vanilla extract @ the end of the recipe & topped it a touch of sea salt.
  2. what could you substitute for nut butter? I would like to make these for a school snack but not allowed nuts of any kind
    1. Do you mean substituted WITH? If you are substituting FOR the cocoa (or coconut oil? What do you mean by "coco"?) that means you take the cocoa OUT and use something else. So if you want to use butter instead of oil, you substitute WITH butter. The fact that so many people are confused by this and use the wrong term means that everyone else is going to get confused, too.
