Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Process until the mixture becomes a smooth, thick paste.
Transfer the date mixture to a medium mixing bowl and add the vegan rice crisps. Mix gently with a spatula until the crisps are evenly coated with the date paste.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish using the back of a spoon or your hands. Make sure it is well packed.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt them together using a double boiler method: place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring continually until smooth and glossy, or microwave in short bursts, stirring every 20 seconds.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the rice crisp layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly using a spatula.
Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Once set, lift the toffee crisp out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 bars or desired sizes using a sharp knife, and serve.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
