If you are craving a sweet treat but want to keep things simple, these candy bars are going to be your new best friend. They rely on just four basic ingredients to create a satisfying crunch that feels like a total indulgence.

Because there is no baking involved, they are incredibly easy to pull together whenever the mood strikes. I love keeping a batch in the freezer for those moments when I need a quick pick me up during the afternoon.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy nut butter of choice
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 cups crispy brown rice cereal
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a square baking pan with parchment paper so it is easy to lift the bars out later.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the nut butter and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the crispy brown rice cereal to the bowl and stir until every piece is coated in the nut butter mixture.

  4. 4

    Press the mixture firmly and evenly into your prepared pan.

  5. 5

    Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in thirty second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

  6. 6

    Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal layer and spread it out to the edges with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Place the pan in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is firm, then slice into bars and serve.

💡 Tips

Store these bars in an airtight container in the freezer for the best texture. If you prefer a softer bite, keep them in the refrigerator instead and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.
