Instructions

Keep all the dry ingredients ready, mix 1/2 cup almonds and 1/2 cup rice krispies, spices, salt and zest and keep aside. Keep additional 1/4 cup crushed rice krispies in a bowl too
In a pan, add the coconut milk, agave and sugar/sweetener and coconut oil.
Heat on low and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Add the chocolate and mix continuously for a few seconds and switch off heat.
Keep stirring till all of it is melted into a nice flowy glaze.
Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Add more krispies if needed to make a stiff doughy mix.
Oil hands and pat this mix down on parchment into thickness desired. I made a 1/2 inch thick, 8 by 8 inch somewhat square.
Refrigerate for an hour, cut, eat!

For the Cake version:

Crumble up the cake into fine crumbs (Used a little more than 1 cup crumbs) instead of the dry ingredients. If the cake is already sweet enough, skip the sugar in the melted chocolate mix. Add dry to wet, spread, cool, cut, eat.
