Chocolate Tahini Rice Crispy Bars
Tahini and chocolate is a match made in heaven. These Chocolate Tahini Rice Crispy Bars are sweet, crunchy and so addictive. They're great for meal prepping and an amazing mid-morning or afternoon snack or post dinner dessert.
Ingredients
- 200 g tahini
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 2.5 cups crispy rice cereal or rice puffs
Chocolate Topping
- 150 g good quality dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil optional – helps to soften the chocolate and make slicing easier
Instructions
- Line a loaf tin with baking paper – ensure the sides are long enough to stick up so you can remove the slab easily later.
- Add the tahini, maple syrup, coconut oil, salt and vanilla to a small saucepan and heat over a low heat, stirring until well combined.
- Add the crispy rice cereal and stir well.
- Add to the lined loaf tin and press down so it's well compacted (it helps to lay a piece of baking paper on top and use a flat-bottomed glass to press down).
- Place in the freezer while you melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil (you can do this in a Bain Marie/double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts)
- Pour over the slab. Place back into the freezer until the chocolate sets (usually 30 mins). Remove and slice into squares or bars. Store in a container in the fridge.
