Choc Rice Puff Bars

These bars are…just like a chocolate milkshake only crunchy…and without all the crappy additives and synthetic vitamins, lol!! My kids loved them - so did I. 

Ingredients

• 170g puffed rice 

• 1 cup coconut oil

• ½ cup pure maple syrup

• ½ cup coconut sugar

• ⅔ cup cocao powder

• ½ teaspoon Salt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

• Generously grease a slice tin, set aside. Pour puffed rice into a large, heat proof mixing bowl.

• In a medium saucepan, combine coconut oil, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, cocao, and salt. Heat over medium until coconut oil melts.

• Once coconut oil melts, turn heat up a bit and bring mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla until well combined.

• Pour hot chocolate mixture over puffed rice, stir (carefully!) until all of the rice is coated with chocolate. Dump mixture into prepared baking pan.

• Using lightly greased (or slightly damp!) hands, firmly press mixture down into the pan, until compacted and relatively flat. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
