- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Begin the recipe by lining a 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, add the ½ cup almond butter and place into the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to soften. Add the ½ cup honey, 2 tablespoons hemp seeds, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and stir.
Add the 3 cups crispy rice cereal and stir until evenly distributed. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and use a spoon to spread evenly.
In a separate small bowl or pitcher, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil 1 cup and dark chocolate. Place into the microwave to melt, stopping to stir every 30 seconds until smooth.
Spread evenly over the crispy rice treats and top with ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt.
Place into the freezer for 20 minutes or until the dark chocolate has set. Cut into squares and enjoy!
- Use parchment paper to line the baking dish/sheet to prevent sticking and allow for easier cleanup.
- Use pure vanilla extract and not imitation. It really makes a difference. If you do not have pure vanilla extract, then you may omit completely.
- When pressing them into the pan, to prevent sticking, dampen your hands a bit with water.
