Moving On - Peanut Butter Cacao Crispy Bars
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Grass-fed, Organic Butter
  • 1/4 cup Clover Honey (or other tolerated honey)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 4 cups Crispy Rice Cereal or Puffed Rice Cereal (use a brand without added sugar, or low sugar depending on your tolerance)
  • 4 oz cacao chips (I use Pashca 100% cacao baking chips)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan place the cacao chips. Melt over the lowest heat setting until smooth.

  2. Place the peanut butter, butter, honey, and vanilla into a large pot.

  3. Melt over low heat stirring often. 

  4. Once the mixture is well incorporated add 2 cups of the crispy rice cereal and mix until the cereal is coated.

  5. Add the remaining 2 cups of crispy rice cereal, and gently mix in. 

  6. Dump the peanut butter covered rice cereal into a parchment lined 9x9 inch pan. With a spatula, smooth out the top of the cereal to make it flat and level. 

  7. Pour the melted cacao over the top of the cereal and spread evenly across the top. 

  8. Place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or until completely cool. 

  9. Once cooled, cut into bars and eat immediately or place back into the refrigerator until ready to eat. (These bars will melt into a sticky gooey mess at room temperature.) 

Recipe Notes

If you would like to add even more fats, and some protein, or dilute down the rice add 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans when mixing in the rice crisps.
