Dairy-Free Rice Krispie Treats
Description
This recipe uses smooth almond butter combined with raw honey, brown rice syrup, and coconut oil, gently melted together to coat crispy rice cereal for a sweet, sticky base. After cooling briefly, chocolate chips are mixed in without melting. The mixture is then pressed into a lined pan and chilled in the freezer until firm, creating bars that hold together well when cut. These treats have a chewy, nutty flavor and texture without any dairy ingredients.
The no-bake preparation makes it an easy snack or dessert option. The nut butter offers natural richness, while the raw honey and rice syrup add sweetness and binding properties. Adding chocolate chips enhances the flavor contrast and adds some texture.
Storing these treats frozen is recommended; thaw for a few minutes before eating to reduce stickiness. Different nut butters can be substituted, and sunflower seed butter provides a nut-free option. Heating the wet ingredients gently is important to maintain proper consistency and ease of mixing.
Ingredients
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- ½ cup almond butter smooth
- ½ cup honey raw
- ¼ cup brown rice syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼ cup chocolate chips enjoy life brand
Instructions
- Prep and measure your rice puffs.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the honey, almond butter, and coconut oil and heat until just melted.
- Whisk the rice syrup into the bowl.
- Pour the wet mixture into the rice puffs and combine until everything is sticky.
- Let cool for 3-5 minutes and add in the chocolate chips. Stir them in.
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and scoop in the rice krispie mixture.

- Place in the freezer for at least thirty minutes to set.

Notes
- Avoid overheating the liquid ingredients to ensure nut butter mixes evenly without separating.
- Use fresh nut butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Cashew butter can be substituted for a richer flavor; sunflower seed butter works as a nut-free alternative.
- Add chocolate chips after the mixture cools slightly to keep chips intact rather than melted.
- Store treats in the freezer and allow thawing for 5-10 minutes before serving to reduce stickiness.
