Healthier Scotcheroo Bars

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cups gluten-free brown rice crisps cereal

  (if not gluten free, any rice crisp cereal will work)
• ½ cup honey
• ½ cup + 2 TBSP coconut sugar

  (also called coconut palm sugar)
• 1 heaping cup natural peanut butter
• ⅛ tsp. sea salt

  (only if your peanut butter does not contain salt)
• 1 cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips

  (if not dairy free, any variation of chocolate chips will work)
• 1 TBSP natural peanut butter

Instructions

• 1 Prepare to make bars by adding brown rice crisps to a large mixing bowl.
• 2 Next, add the honey and coconut sugar to a small sauce pan. Cook over medium
  heat until the coconut sugar is fully dissolved and small bubbles start to form
  in the mix; stirring occasionally during this process.
• 3 Turn heat to low and add peanut butter and salt (if needed) to honey/sugar and
  mix until combined and smooth. Note: final peanut butter mix will be thick.
• 4 Pour peanut butter mix in bowl with brown rice crisps. Mix until crisps are
  fully incorporated. If needed, use your hands to mix together.
• 5 Lightly press mixture into an 8x8 or 9x9 pan (see notes).
• 6 Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl or sauce pan. If using the
  microwave, melt in increments of 30-45 seconds, stirring in between, until
  melted. If using the stovetop, heat over low heat, stirring frequently until
  chips are melted. Mix in the 1 TBSP peanut butter to melted chocolate and then
  spread over bars.
• 7 Allow chocolate to fully set before cutting into squares.
• 8 Enjoy!
