Notes
- Make sure to use crispy rice and not puffed rice or you'll end up with chewy bars and not crunchy ones.
- The more you flatten the crispy rice cereal mixture down into the baking tray, the better the bars hold together.
- Make sure to spread the melted chocolate evenly and ensure when you place the tray in the freezer it's level
- If you want to make these chocolate bars protein-packed, sub in half the coconut flour for collagen powder.
- The dairy-free caramel topping is optional and not included in the nutritional breakdown.
