METHOD
- In a large mixing bowl add peanut butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil (melt this for about 30 seconds in microwave).
- Whisk until combined.
- Pour in rice puffs and mix through. You want to coat all of the the puffs in the peanut butter mixture.
- Tightly pack mixture into a small paper lined baking tin (square or rectangular works best).
- Freeze for 1 hour.
- Remove from freezer and slice into small bars. Keep stored in fridge for when the sweet-toothed monster comes knocking.
