Ingredients

5 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
1 cup Peanut Butter can use any nut or seed butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions

Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the crispy rice cereal and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or stove top, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Melt until fully combined. If you use a microwave, melt on medium power in 30-second spurts to avoid over-heating.
Pour the liquid mixture over the crispy rice cereal and mix until fully incorporated. Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop crunch cookie batter on the lined baking sheet, about 2-3 inches apart. Press each cookie and refrigerate until firm.
