Ingredients

3 cups unsweetened rice puff cereal
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup peanut butter
⅓ cup desiccated coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup maple syrup
50 g dark chocolate , to drizzle on top

Instructions

Line 20x20 CM square baking pan with baking parchment..
In a large mixing bowl, mix together rice puffs and cocoa and coconut until combined.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter and butter and microwave for 20 seconds or until melted; let the mixture cool down for 2-3 minutes, then mix in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the butter mixture over the rice puffs mixture, mix well until the puffs are well coated.
Now, transfer the mixture into the baking pan, press it down firmly with your hand.
Microwave the chocolate for 20 seconds, then drizzle on the top.
Put the baking pan into the fridge for 2-3 hours.
Remove from the pan slice and enjoy.

Notes

Spray your parchment paper with cooking spray beforehand. This will allow the easy removal of the bars once the preparation process is done. It saves you time making a mess as well.
Compression should be avoided. Place the mixture in the pan and gently press it down. That's all there is to it. Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats hold their shape better when they're not compacted. When bars are overly compacted, they become hard to chew and unpalatable.
Mix in some marshmallows for a softer and gooey texture.
If you want to have an ever more chocolatey taste, you may also add melted chocolate bars.
