How to Make This Recipe

  1. Add peanut butter to a saucepan. Add sweetened condensed coconut milk. Cook until melted. Add salt.
  2. Add rice crisp cereal - I used brown rice crisp cereal. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Pour into a baking dish that's been greased with coconut oil. Pat down to condense the bars. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
  4. Pour chocolate chips into a heat safe bowl. Place over a saucepan that has a couple of inches of water in it. This will act as a double boiler. (If you have a double boiler, use that.)
  5. Melt the chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add coconut oil. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Pour over peanut butter layer. Place in the fridge to set, about 2 hours.

Tips

  • It can be hard this time of year to find certain items in the grocery store, and with shipping delays, even harder. If you can't find sweetened condensed coconut milk you can use sweetened condensed oat milk. I tried both when making this recipe.
  • You could also try homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk, which I don't yet have a recipe for, but there are plenty online.

Variations

  • almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter
  • chocolate chips folded in instead of a chocolate layer on top
  • roasted peanuts folded in
  • maple syrup or agave syrup instead of sweetened condensed coconut milk

How Long Do They Last?

These bars last about a week in an airtight container in the fridge.

Can I Store The Bars at Room Temperature?

Since these contain sweetened condensed coconut milk, they need to be stored in the fridge.
