It's time I share with you a very moreish, finger-licking good recipe I've been enjoying for a while now... my chocolate crunch bars. This recipe is ridiculously easy to make (simplicity is my motto)! It's gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar-free and also vegan-friendly! It makes a very satiating snack for when that dreaded 3-4pm sweet tooth comes on, or a yummy post-dinner treat.

Remember to tag #NBnutrition if sharing this recipe on social media, I always LOVE seeing your creations!

Ingredients:

 2 cups puffed brown rice cereal
  cup coconut oil
 ½ cup raw cacao powder
 ¼ cup pure maple syrup
 1 tsp vanilla essence
 Pinch of sea salt

Method:

1

Melt coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted add cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla essence and salt. Stir together until combined.

2

Add puffed brown rice to a mixing bowl and pour chocolate mixture ontop, mix together until well combined.

3

Line a square baking dish with baking paper, pour mixture in and spread evenly. Pop this mixture into the freeze for 15-20 minutes to set.

4

Once set, lift the baking paper out of the dish, and place onto a chopping board, cut into 8 bars and enjoy!
Keep the bars in the freezer so the chocolate stays set.
