Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Brown rice syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Puffed brown rice cereal
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the brown rice syrup and coconut oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, add the puffed brown rice cereal.
Pour the cocoa mixture over the puffed rice cereal, gently stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated with the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated puffed rice cereal onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
Allow the Cocoa Crispies to cool completely at room temperature until they harden and become crispy. This usually takes about an hour.
Break the Cocoa Crispies into clusters and store them in an airtight container. They can be eaten as a snack or served with non-dairy milk for breakfast. Enjoy!
