Health Highlights

Ingredients

1/2 cup	Brown rice syrup
1 tbsp	Butter, salted
1 cup	Almond butter
1/2 tsp	Kosher salt (To taste)
1 tbsp	Vanilla extract, pure
3 1/2 cup	Cereal, Rice Krispies, Kellogg's
1/2 cup	Semisweet chocolate chips (For the chocolate glaze)
1 tbsp	Almond butter (For the chocolate glaze)
1 pinch	Salt (For the chocolate glaze)
1 tbsp	Coconut flakes (For the chocolate glaze)

Prepare an 8 inch by 8 inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper on both sides.
In a large pot over low-medium heat, add the brown rice syrup, butter, 1 cup of almond butter, and kosher salt.
Stir well until combined and heated through. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Stir in the rice crisp cereal until thoroughly combined.
Scoop into the prepared pan. Press down with fingers or roll flat with pastry roller until evenly distributed.
Place in the freezer to set for 5 minutes while you make the chocolate glaze.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave for about 60 seconds, stirring after 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn. Stir in the almond butter and a pinch of salt.
Remove pan from freezer. Drizzle or spread the bars with the melted chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with coconut and place in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
Slice into squares. Bars will hold their shape quite well at room temperature, but you can store in the fridge to ensure the chocolate stays solid.
