recipe: Rice Crispy Treats sans wheat, gluten, dairy & slave chocolate. Yum!
Ah, the taste of freedom. Enjoy.
Best Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Vegan-Gluten-Free-Casein-Free-Crispy-Rice-Squares You Ever Tasted In Your Entire Life
adapted from a variety of recipes by me, Pamela Grossman (you know I don’t eat yucky stuff, right?)
Ingredients:
5c rice cereal
1 10-oz container of Suzanne’s Ricemellow Crème
1 10-oz bag Tropical Source Chocolate Chips(careful – soy lecithin!) (Not slave chocolate!)
2 tsp margarine
6 Tb Nut Butter (or to taste – I use more)
Instructions:
1. Line a 9×9 glass baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
2. Melt the chocolate chips and margarine in a large microwave-safe bowl for about one minute. Mix with a spatula until the rest of the chips melt.
3. Mix in the ricemellow and peanut butter until combined.
4. Pour the rice cereal into the chocolate mixture and mix until cereal is coated.
5. Plop the whole thing into the 9×9 dish and press it in with a spatula. Let cool to room temperature. When it’s firmed up, pull out the whole thing by the parchment paper and cut into squares with a sharp knife. Speed the process by putting it in the refrigerator.

Ooh, thanks for sharing the recipe!!!
we will have to try this!! Although Amber is not a big chocolate fan. I wonder how they would be with just p.b.? Have you tried them plain too?
the vegan lunch box cook book has a cashew crispy squares recipe with no chocolate! I think you could do my version without the chocolate! Let me know!
Those look really good but I’m sensitive to soy and my son is very allergic to it so I’d have to make some changes (as usual when cooking for my family!)
It’s also important to note that many rice crispie cereals are not gluten free. Everyone that I’ve seen in basic (non- health food) grocery stores contain maltodetrin or malt to sweeten.
Ha, I’m tired: I read the last line as 6 LB of nut butter — nothing like a recipe that measures the butter in pounds.
I like the real version better. Sorry about all of your eye problems and kids’ illnesses — hope things look up soon.
