Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal Opt for a quality brand for the best crunch.
  • 1 cup chocolate (dark or milk, halal-certified) Choose your favorite chocolate for melting.
  • ½ cup almond or peanut butter Use a nut butter that is smooth for easy mixing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and nut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Pour in the crispy rice cereal and mix until all the cereal is coated in the chocolate mixture.
  4. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking pan and use a spatula or slightly dampened hands to press it down firmly.
  5. Refrigerate the pan for at least 30 minutes, until the mixture is set and firm.
  6. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper, cut into squares or bars, and serve.

Notes

For nut allergies, substitute nut butter with sun butter or tahini. Add mini marshmallows or crispy nuts for extra crunch. Be patient when melting chocolate to avoid seizing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for two weeks. Freeze for up to three months.
