VEGAN CARAMEL RICE KRISPIE TREAT BARS

Hey everyone! I’m here today with a recipe for my Vegan Caramel Rice Krispie Treat Bars! Ps. My vegan recipes are usually paleo as well, however this one is not, because of the rice crisps. Anyway, this recipe is still gluten-free, refined sugar free and all that good stuff.

I was craving for Rice Krispie treats the other day. And I figured why not make them vegan Rice Krispie treats instead?

And also, why stop at vegan Rice Krispie treats? Why not make them into bars, with a crust, and a topping, or better yet, two toppings if you count the Vegan chocolate ganache, and the caramel drizzled on top.

Ingredients
Crust

• 1 cup roasted walnuts
• 1 1/2 cups oats
• 1/2 tablespoon flax seed
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 14 dates

Caramel

• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 3/4 cup coconut butter
• 6 tablespoons cashew butter or almond butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Rice Krispie Treats

• 1/3 cup nut butter I used cashew
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups brown rice crisp cereal

Ganache

• 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (170 grams, 6 oz)
• 2/3 cup coconut cream 150 grams, 5.3 oz

Instructions
Crust

• Process all ingredients in the food processor until completely incorporated. Press crust onto the bottom of a 8×8” pan lined with parchment paper.
• Place it in the fridge.

Caramel

• Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer quickly until thickened and complete incorporated.

Rice Krispie Treats

• Whisk nut butter with maple syrup and vanilla extract in a large bowl. If the nut butter is too solid and hardened, you may microwave the mixture for a few seconds to heat it up and make it easier to incorporate.
• Add brown rice crisp cereal to the bowl. Mix with a spatula until combined.

Ganache

• Heat up the coconut cream in the microwave or in a small saucepan until very hot. Pour over chocolate chips. Stir with a spatula until completely smooth. If you still see pieces of chocolate in the ganache, simply place bowl in the microwave for a few seconds at a time until chocolate has melted completely. Remember not to overheat your chocolate.

To assemble

• Spread a thin layer of caramel sauce on top of the crust.
• Press half of the rice krispie treat mixture on top.
• Use wax paper to help you manage the sticky rice krispie treats and press them down packed.
• Pour the remaining caramel over.
