Ingredients
- 3 cups puffed rice cereal (75g)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (96g)
- 1/2 cup rice malt syrup or honey (125ml)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
- 30ml coconut oil
- 2 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder (16g)
- 100g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
Method
-
Line a 10cm x 20cm baking pan with baking paper and set aside
-
Add 1 ½ cups of puffed rice to one bowl and the other 1 ½ cups of puffed rice into a second bowl.
-
Over a low heat, melt the rice malt syrup, vanilla extract and coconut oil.
-
Remove from heat and mix through peanut butter
-
Pour half of the mixture into one of your bowls of puffed rice and stir well to combine
-
Add your cacao/cocoa to the remaining peanut butter mixture, stir through then mix it into the second bowl of puffed rice.
-
Grab your lined pan and add one bowl of puffed rice mixture to pan. Press firmly into the base (and we really do mean FIRMLY). For best results really take some time with this step.
-
Add the remaining bowl of puffed rice mixture over the top and once again, press firmly so it sticks together.
-
Pop pan into fridge or freezer to set. (30mins – 60 mins will be enough)
-
Once the mixture is set, melt your chocolate using your preferred method.
-
Pour chocolate evenly over the top of the puffed rice mix and pop back in the fridge to set (This should only take about 10 minutes)
-
Remove from fridge and cut into 18 squares with a sharp knife.
