Naturally Sweetened Cereal is All You Need!
I am so excited to partner with One Degree Organics to bring you this healthy chocolate rice crispy treats recipe. They sent me a sample of their Organic Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps which I used as the base to make these decadent chocolate snack bars.
These brown rice crisps are made with sprouted whole grains and legumes – which boost nutrients and make the cereal easier to digest and absorb. They’re also lightly sweetened with organic sweeteners – no high fructose corn syrup – and free from artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. As an organic brand, all products are always non-GMO, and verified by the Non-GMO Project. From hot and cold cereals to granola to flour and bread, from breakfast to beyond, they offer a range of organic, sprouted products to fit any healthy lifestyle. I use One Degree products all the time, and have a few recipes on my site featuring them!
What’s In These Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats?
- One Degree Organics Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps – this cereal is light, fluffy, crunchy, and totally perfect for these cacao bars! Naturally sweetened and made with whole organic ingredients.
- Coconut Oil – I love the flavor of coconut oil in these cereal treat bars instead of traditional butter. The coconut flavor pairs really nicely with the chocolate!
- Organic Cacao Powder – which is great to use instead of sweet milk chocolate, and gives these treats a great rich chocolate flavor. Cacao is also an antioxidant powerhouse, making it a healthier choice over refined chocolate.
- Vegan Mini Marshmallows – I like to use a plant-based marshmallow to keep these treats plant-based. These marshmallows are vegan and gluten free.
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Dark Chocolate Chips – I also like these chips which are plant based and dairy free.
The Best Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats Start with the Best Ingredients
These Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps are a healthy reinvention of traditional cereal, so you can continue to enjoy the classic foods you love, only better. I like these crisps because they are certified as Glyphosate Residue Free and display the Bio-Checked Non Glyphosate Certified seal. Glyphosate has been classified as a “probable carcinogen,” or cancer-causing substance by the The World Health Organization. I feel good knowing my oats are coming from a company that has 100% transparency with their ingredients and has third-party testers to keep the glyphosate out of my kitchen!

How Do I Make Healthy Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats?
-
Line a large 9×9 glass baking dish with parchment paper, set aside. Also set aside about 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows, these will be used later in the recipe.
-
In a large pot, add the coconut oil, cacao powder, and the remainder of the marshmallows on low heat. Stir for about 5-10 minutes until the ingredients have completely melted together.
-
Add the vanilla extract to the marshmallow mixture and stir well to combine.
-
Add the Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps, half of the chocolate chips, and the extra 1/2 cup of marshmallows to the pot and mix well.
-
Pour the rice cereal mixture into the baking dish – and gently press the rice cereal down. Make sure to not pack down too hard, as the looser they are placed in the baking dish the softer the treats will be.
- Sprinkle the top with the last half of the chocolate chips. Wait for 30 minutes to cool, then cut, serve and enjoy!
