My Easy Crispy Rice Squares

These have been compared to a healthier version of a “Fiber-One Bar” or a “Special-K Bar.”

In our house, they are a must-make and a must-have!

Everyone loves these, I have yet to meet some one not love these. These are a much healthier version (no corn syrup, preservatives, trans fats) and I like to switch it up with using either almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter. They are ALL fantastic, so take your pick and ENJOY. These take no time to put together. There is a uniqueness to these, a secret ingredient…

Servings

Makes about 1-1 1/2 Dozen

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1/3 cup good quality maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup cashew, or peanut, or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet dark chocolate chips or vegan chips
  • 3 cups crispy brown rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds (or I sometimes use chia seeds, optional)
  • 1/3 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal (this too is optional but I love the crunch factor so I add this in, plus I always have it)
  • chocolate chips to garnish

Directions

  1. In a med. Dutch oven over med-low heat, combine syrups and your choice of nut butter until smooth. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted. Fold in rice cereal, Kashi cereal (if using) and sesame seeds (secret ingredient) (or chia) and stir to coat everything, Press batter into 8×8 dish and refrigerate until firm (at least 20 mins), it is hard to wait, I know. Cut into squares and store in airtight container. Inspired from Clean Food.

  1. Monica….delish!!!!

    Saw this and another recipe on Angela’s site…YUMMMMMM! :) They remind me of my Special K bars meets Rice Krispy Bars…but no Karo syrup. Love that you used brown rice syrup. I want to make these!

  2. I just saw these on Oh She Glows and I had to make them. Although I did not let them cool before I tried a bite :) the bite I had was Fabulous! Thanks for sharing :)

    Hey! I made a batch of these last night (saw them on Angela’s blog)–AMAZING. Everyone who I gave them to said they tasted just like, or else better than, “Scotch-a-roos”…but little do they know they are vegan and sooo much better for you :)
    quite the perfect combination of caramel, nut butter, carob….and that secret ingredient. It really ups the chewy texture–well played! Thanks for the great recipe!

    Hi! I saw them (like everyone else did) on Angela’s site and clicked on the link! Those look delicious and (to me, anyways) look like those chocolate Fiber One bars, but is healthier because these were made in a kitchen rather than a factory…they’re made in factors, right?…Yeah I’m sure they are! Sort of…oh whatever, these are much healthier nonetheless!

      Kathy, you should try them for sure, they are so unique and YES-a much better choice then Fiber One Bars! :)
