Vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Squares
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
There are a few nostalgic recipes that I get a craving for every once in a while..
Rice Krispy Treats are definitely one of them!
To be quite honest, I’m naturally not even fond of marshmallows, but when enjoyed with this concept I’m absolutely sold! However, I don’t like to have the simple classic recipe as there are a myriad of varieties you can choose and dark chocolate peanut butter happens to be one of my favorites!
What I love about this recipe is, everything! It uses a handful of affordable ingredients, coconut oil instead of butter, rice puff cereal instead of rice crispy treats, dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, and can be made in minutes without even having to use your oven!
If you long for a rich and decadent Krispy Treat that’s sans processed cereal and or animal products.. You have to try my classic recipe for Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Squares!
Why this recipe rocks:
