Recipe Tips

To make this recipe vegan-friendly, use maple syrup instead of honey. For an extra crunch, try adding chopped nuts to the mixture before pressing it into the baking dish. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate. Just be sure to choose a high-quality brand that uses natural ingredients. Finally, if you don't have brown rice crispy cereal, you can substitute regular rice crispy cereal or even crushed up rice cakes. Enjoy!
