Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Make the base: In a medium pot, combine the tahini, maple syrup, coconut oil, and salt over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is smooth, warm, and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Stir in the crispy brown rice cereal until the cereal is completely coated. Pour into the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to press the cereal down and flatten the top.
- Make the topping: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Pour the mixture over the bars and tilt the pan to spread evenly.
- Add the pretzels evenly all over the chocolate, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- Chill and sprinkle: Place the pan in the fridge until the bars are completely cool and the chocolate is hardened, at least 1 hour. Alternatively you can stick them in the freezer for 30-45 minutes. Sprinkle the bars with sea salt, then cut into 16 bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Bars are also freezer-friendly but may dry out slightly. If you freeze them, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To make gluten free: Use gluten free pretzel twists. To make dairy free: Use dairy free/vegan chocolate chips.
