For the Base
5cupsRice Krispies cereal
1/2cupgolden ground flaxseed
1cupraw almonds
1cupcoconut sugar
1cupagave nectar
1/4cupcoconut oil, melted to a liquid in the microwave
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Topping
2cups dried cranberries
2cupschocolate chips (you could also use vegan chocolate chips if you prefer)
1/2cupalmond milk
Instructions
In a large bowl, place Rice Krispies and ground flax seed and toss just to blend. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, place almonds and process until almost creamy. This may take a few minutes.
Add coconut sugar and process to blend.
Add agave and process to blend.
Add melted coconut oil and both extracts. Process the mixture just to blend.
Pour processed mixture over the Rice Krispies and with a wooden spoon or firm spatula, mix just to combine. Try not to break up the Rice Krispies too much.
Line a 9×13-inch pan or glass dish with plastic wrap, parchment or foil. This step just makes it easier to lift out after it sets.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan pressing down lightly to cover the pan evenly.
Spread the dried cranberries over the mixture.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, add chocolate chips and almond milk and microwave just until the chocolate starts to melt (30 seconds up to a minute). Whisk vigorously with a wire whip and pour over cranberries spreading to the edges.
Let set two hours covered under refrigeration.
Remove from refrigeration and pull up on the sides of the plastic, parchment or foil to loosen from the bottom and sides. You may need to use a spatula to remove. Place on a cutting board, remove plastic, paper or foil and cut 3×6 for 18 squares.
Keep refrigerated.
