Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup vegan sugar-sweetened carob chips
- 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar ((optional))
- 3 cups rice krispies
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1 | |
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and carob chips. (Making sure the carob chips are coated in peanut butter helps keep them from scorching in the microwave.) Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave again for 30 seconds. Sitr. Carob chips should be pretty much completely melted. If you still see alot of chunks, microwave again for another 10-20 seconds. | |
Step 2 | |
Combine confectioner's sugar and a pinch of salt with your carob/PB mixture. | |
Step 3 | |
Add Rice krispies and stir until rice krispies are completely coated. | |
Step 4 | |
Press mixture into a square 9 X 9 baking dish (no need to oil the pan, as your PB and carob chips contain enough oil on their own), and place in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, until treats are slightly chilled, and solid. | |
Step 5 | |
Cut into squares and serve slightly chiled or at room temperature. |
Note
This recipe is designed for vegan sugar-sweetened carob chips. However, it would definitely work with vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips as well (you just might have to adjust the sweetener a little bit).
