Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups puffed rice cereal
- 1 cup unsalted almond butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup chopped unsalted almonds
Instructions
Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, combine the unsalted almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the puffed rice cereal, dried cranberries, and chopped unsalted almonds until evenly coated with the almond butter mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly with a spatula to ensure a compact layer.
Let the mixture cool and set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, or place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the mixture has set, cut it into 24 squares.
Store the crispy rice bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
