Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Puffed Rice Cereal
- 0.5 cup Cocoa Powder
- 0.25 cup Coconut Oil
- 0.33 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Place the puffed rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the cocoa mixture over the cereal and stir until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
Spread the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time, until the cereal is crisp and the cocoa aroma fills the kitchen.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cereal to cool completely on the pan. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the cocoa crispies to an airtight container for storage. They will stay fresh for about a week.
