Ingredients
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- ½ cup coconut oil measured solid
- ⅔ cup collagen powder
- ½ cup maple syrup natural
- ⅔ cup natural peanut butter
- 1.5 cups vegan chocolate chips
- 1.5 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Melt the coconut oil over low heat and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the collagen and crispy rice cereal.
- Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil together until smooth and pour it into the crispy rice.
- Mix until everything is sticky, leaving no dry spots.
- Portion the rice Krispie mixture into the lined pan. Use another sheet of parchment paper on top to press the mixture into the pan until it’s evenly distributed. The harder you press the better your squares will hold together.
- If topping them with chocolate, melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil over low heat. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate over the rice Krispie bars and smooth it out.
- Pop it into the freezer for 1 hour to set.
- Remove from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing them into large squares.

Notes
- Take care to mix the ingredients well so that everything is sticky. If pieces are left uncoated the base of the bars will crumble.
- Likewise, when pressing everything into the tray, give it all you’ve got. The firmer you press them the better they hold together.
- The chocolate topping on the peanut butter rice Krispies is optional and not included in the nutritional breakdown. If I’m using these squares as a snack, I don’t top them. If I want to make a dessert, I add it.
- You need fresh peanut butter so that it mixes evenly and well. The hard part at the bottom of the jar won’t bind everything.
- The squares are BIG if you cut them into a 3x3. If you want to scale back the calories, cut the pan into 12 squares.
- If you’re topping the peanut butter Rice Krispies with chocolate, let the baking pan sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before you slice them so that the chocolate doesn’t crack.
- Store the bars in the freezer or the fridge. if they're in the freezer, let them come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before enjoying.
