Makes 16 squares
Everyone enjoys this easy, no-bake confection -
including the cook!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice syrup
- 1/4 cup crunchy almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Tiny pinch of salt (optional; omit if nut butter or
cereal contains salt)
- 2 cups crisped rice cereal
- 1/3 cup seedless raisins, chopped nuts, or vegan
semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Mist an 8-inch square glass baking pan with
nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
Place the rice syrup, almond butter, tahini, and
cinnamon in a medium saucepan, and place over low heat until the mixture is
softened. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt, if
using. Mix well.
Fold in the cereal and raisins, and mix gently
until everything is evenly distributed. The mixture will be extremely stiff.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan
using lightly water-moistened fingertips or a piece of waxed paper. Cut into 16
squares. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and chill the squares in the
refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.
