½ cup of nut butter such as Nuttzo (smooth or crunchy)
6 cups rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
For the topping
1½ cups mini chocolate chips
2 heaping tablespoons of nut butter such as Nuttzo (smooth or crunchy)
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
Melt butter, marshmallows and ½ cup nut butter in a large pot over medium low heat. Stir until melted. Once the mixture is smooth, stir in cereal immediately.
Pour mixture to a 9x13 pan lined with wax paper sprayed with cooking spray (make sure to use a large piece of wax paper that hangs over the dish so that you can pull out treats before cutting). Working quickly spread mixture into pan and pat down using a spoon or rubber spatula (coat spoon in cooking spray for less sticking).
Melt the chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of nut butter and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 20-30 seconds until melted.
Pour chocolate over rice krispie treats, smoothing with the back of a spoon. Let sit until chocolate hardens. Once hardened, lift wax paper out of the tray which will make cutting treats into desired shapes much easier.
Notes
Make the treats ahead of time so that the chocolate has enough time to harden before you start cutting them into shapes. Placing the treats in the refrigerator will help harden the chocolate, but will also make the treats very difficult to cut so don't leave them in there very long.
