Chocolate Rice Crispy Squares. Rice crispy treats are one of those iconic recipes from childhood. Well, I just gave them a major upgrade with these easy Chocolate Rice Crispy Squares.
I love this recipe because it only contains simple ingredients. It also only takes a few minutes to prepare.
If you love chocolate, you may also want to try my fudgy flourless brownies and my chocolate coffee cheesecake.
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.
