Equipment

  • fridge

Ingredients
  

  • cup peanut butter (the runny kind-I used Nuts for You)
  • cup pure maple syrup
  • cup crispy brown rice (I used Nature’s Path)
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 bag vegan chocolate chips (Lily’s Sweets)
  • tbsp coconut oil (Dr Bronner’s is the best)
  • maldon sea salt for garnish (optional but tastes SO GOOD)

Instructions
 

  • Mix together peanut butter, maple syrup, and sea salt until well combined. Add-in crispy rice until very well mixed.
  • Transfer bowl to fridge for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
  • Roll into 1” balls and place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set in the freezer for another 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime prepare your chocolate. I used a double boiler but could easily microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted. You may need to add more coconut oil if your chocolate is too thick.
  • Dip balls into chocolate, sprinkle with Maldon sea salt and place back in the freezer to set. I store them in an airtight container in the freezer because they taste best cold.
