Natural peanut butter and brown rice syrup are gently warmed up to become the magic glue to hold the brown rice crisps cereal together. Brilliant! I opted to drizzle a little melted chocolate over the top to keep the calories down but still be able to enjoy a touch of chocolate and peanut butter together. Chocolate makes everything taste better. Right? The cinnamon and nutmeg are my additions and they add a little sweet spice.
Brown Rice Crispy Treats Drizzled with Chocolate
- 2/3 cup Natural Peanut Butter
- 2/3 cup Brown Rice Syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 cups Brown Rice Crisps
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with non stick spray and set aside.
Measure cereal and put it in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium size saucepan combine peanut butter, brown rice syrup, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, stir to combine over low heat until mixture is melted and smooth.
Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal and stir to evenly coat cereal.
Quickly press Cereal into the prepared pan, pressing down and smoothing out the top of the cereal bars.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Let cool slightly, pour into a heavy duty plastic bag, snip off the corner and drizzle chocolate over the bars in a decorate pattern.
Set pan in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.
Cut into desired amount of bars.
