This is going to be a quick show-of-face, but I could not not share with you these rice crispy treats I supposedly made for my little one. My husband and I love them more than our babe does!

There’s also a quick oatmeal recipe that you can (you must!) find on my Instagram. But when you want a cold treat, a healthy snack to curb the chocolate cravings, go no further: You can make these healthy, chocolate rice crispy treats in only a few minutes! Most rice crispy recipes out there either have butter or marshmallows. These have neither but they are delicious (I don’t even like marshmallows. Seriously). A delicious, gluten-free, and dairy-free recipe.

chocolate rice crispy treats

Here we go:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free crispy rice cereal.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate nut butter (I used Artisana Hazelnut cacao spread and Oh.My.God.)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice- I prefer date syrup or maple syrup *
  • 2 tbsp Nuzest Kids Good Stuff (Rich Chocolate)** (discount code: SMT15)
  • a handful of chocolate chips (optional).***

Instructions

    • Lightly spray a baking tray and set aside (I always use Chosen Foods).
    • In a large mixing bowl, add your crispy rice cereal and the chocolate lover and set aside.
    • Melt the nut butter and the liquid sweetener (you can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop. I use both, depending on how impatient I am!) and then pour the mixture into the crispy rice cereal and mix well. You may need to add more liquid sweetener to make them stick together.
    • Pour the mixture into the baking tray and press to cover the tray smoothly. At this point, you can add the chocolate chips on top.
    • Refrigerate at least for a couple of hours.
    • Cut into slices and serve. You can keep at room temperature but I actually like it frozen better. Thaw 10-15 minutes before serving, and it’s the perfect summer treat.

*If this is too sweet for you or if you are watching your sugar intake, I assume you can use 1/4 cup of coconut oil (melted) and 1/4 cup +2tbsp liquid sweetener. I have not tried that myself, but feel free to try!

**You should be able to use just plain old cacao powder, but I highly recommend this brand and this particular mix. We absolutely love it, and use it every day (yes, every. day!). Taste is subjective, obviously, but even the grown-ups like it in our house 🙂

*** I actually prefer these without the chocolate chips. I add them when I make them for my husband!

HELLO REAL LIFE!

Welcome! My name is Ivy. Classical with a twist, married to the love of my life, a proud mum of two little lions, and one little human. We have recently moved to the gorgeous state of Washington.

My practice, Ivy Chan Wellness, unites ancient wisdom with modern knowledge. I was born into a family in the Middle East, my roots run deep with the knowledge of my ancestors—nomadic healers who passed down their wisdom through the generations. But my path led me on a different journey, one that would intertwine my passion for education with my quest for healing.

With a Ph.D. in Sociology, and a passion for nurturing minds, I have always seen myself as an educator. I believe in empowering individuals to become their own healers, rewrite their stories and redefine their relationship with their bodies, their hearts, and their overall well-being.

Through years of study and self-discovery, I have cultivated expertise in women’s health and wellness. My focus lies in helping my sisters find their most powerful selves at every stage of their lives. I want us not just to survive, but to thrive!

At Ivy Can Wellness, you will discover a sanctuary for transformation and growth. It is a place where the ancient traditions of healing seamlessly blend with the latest knowledge in Ayurvedic nutrition, yoga therapy, and holistic wellness. There, you will find the tools, resources, and guidance you need to embark on your personal journey of healing and self-discovery.

Shakingmytofu, on the other hand, aims to make plant-based life convenient, affordable, and adaptable for everyone. I will be happy if I can bring a little more light, health, and peace to the daily life. Feel free to spend time, and have a look at the recipes, lists of plant-based sources (from snacks to clothing), images and articles.

I invite you to embark on this extraordinary journey of self-discovery and well-being with me. Together, let’s shape our stories, rewrite our narratives, and embrace a life of vitality, joy, and balance.

Contact me anytime with queries, suggestions, and collaboration ideas at shakingmytofu@gmail.com or simply by filling out the form below. Look forward to hearing from you!
