Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 cups Brown Rice Crisps
- 1 cup Tahini – use an all-natural creamy Tahini
- 1/4 cup Sesame Seeds – to press on top
- 1 cup Honey
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
- Optional – Add 1/2 Teaspoon of Sea Salt
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easy to remove the bars after they have chilled.
- In a small sauce, bring the honey to a boil over medium heat and then immediately lower to a simmer for one minute. Turn off the flame and add the tahini and vanilla, combining thoroughly. You can also heat in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Pour the Tahini-Honey mixture over the Rice Crispy Cereal. Add optional sea salt. Combine the cereal mixture. It is thick and sticky.
- Transfer the Rice Krispie Mixture to the prepared pan and press down hard on it evenly. You want it to become compact. I used the back of a mixing cup to press the mixture down. Sprinkle the top with a layer of sesame seeds and press again.
- Cover with a piece of parchment paper and place pan in the refrigerator for several hours until completely firm. I also wrapped the top in plastic so it was airtight.
- Remove from refrigerator and slice into crispy squares.
- Keep bars refrigerated or frozen. I wrapped each bar in parchment in a baggie or covered glass bowl. You can also wrap each bar in plastic wrap for easy transport.
Notes
Store Rice Krispie Treats in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
