Ingredients
  

2 cups puffed rice cereal

1 cup almond butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overlaps the edges for easy removal later.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended and smooth.

      Combine with Puffed Rice: Gradually add the puffed rice cereal to the wet mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix gently until all the puffed rice is evenly coated.

        Add Chocolate Chips (if using): If you want a chocolatey twist, fold in the dark chocolate chips and mix until distributed evenly throughout the mixture.

          Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula or your hands (wet them slightly to avoid sticking) to press it down firmly into an even layer.

            Top with Sliced Almonds: Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top and gently press them down into the surface for added crunch and decoration.

              Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut into squares.

                Cut and Serve: Once chilled, lift the squares out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into desired sizes and enjoy your no-bake almond butter rice squares!
