Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) square baking tin with parchment paper and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the light brown sugar and golden syrup, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and begins to bubble lightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using). Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free crispy rice cereal with the toffee mixture. Mix well until all of the cereal is thoroughly coated.
Transfer the coated cereal into the prepared baking tin, pressing it down evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Ensure the mixture is compact and evenly spread.
Melt the gluten-free dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee cereal mixture in the tin, spreading it smoothly with a spatula to ensure it covers the entire surface.
Refrigerate the tin for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate has set completely.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and lift the toffee crisp out of the tin using the edges of the parchment paper.
Cut into 12 equal bars using a sharp knife and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place.
