Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 5 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
- 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (can use any nut or seed butter)
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Prepare baking tray: Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure your cookies do not stick during chilling.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the crispy rice cereal and set it aside, preparing for the liquid ingredients.
- Melt wet ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Melt the mixture until fully combined. If using a microwave, heat on medium power in 30-second intervals to avoid overheating.
- Combine mixture: Pour the melted liquid mixture over the crispy rice cereal. Mix thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Form cookies: Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. Press each one gently to flatten slightly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the baking sheet until the cookies are firm, allowing them to set properly for a perfect crunchy texture.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with any other nut or seed butter based on preference or dietary restrictions.
- Use medium power when microwaving the chocolate mixture to prevent burning.
- Press cookies flat to ensure even setting and easy eating.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and crunch.
- These cookies are no-bake, making them a quick and convenient treat.
