Ingredients
2tbspmaple syrup
3/4cupalmond butter
1tbspcoconut oil
1cupcrispy rice cerealI used Nature's Path
1/2tsp sea salt
3/4 - 1cupmixed seedsI used pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds
CHOCOLATE COATING:

Instructions
Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Melt together, over medium-low heat, maple syrup, almond butter and coconut oil. Do not let it boil, or it will burn.
Once mixture is melted, add in crispy cereal, sea salt, seeds (leaving out the chocolate chips and coconut oil for coating).
Combine the mixture well in your pot. Once mixed together, scoop out onto parchment paper and using a spatula, spread it out evenly, making sure to press down firmly. Place it in the freezer to set.
Meanwhile, over a double boiler, melt together chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Remove bars from the freezer and using a sharp knife, cut them into 12 individual bars.
Dip one side of the bars into the melted chocolate and place chocolate side up, back onto the parchment paper. Once all bars have been dipped (feel free to cover the entire bar in chocolate), place it back into the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
Remove from the freezer and enjoy! Store bars in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or keep in the freezer.
