    Hippie Crispies (Healthy Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats)

    By Alanna Taylor-Tobin on May 10, 2010 (updated Apr 11, 2023) / 33 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These healthy chocolate rice crispy treats (AKA Hippie Crispies) are made with just 8 ingredients in 10 minutes of active time. No marshmallows, no corn syrup, no butter! They're chewy, gooey, crispy, crunchy, not too sweet, and they're naturally gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free too.

    You don't have to be a hippie to enjoy these, but it doesn't hurt. ;) Find more healthy brownie and bar recipes here including these oat flour blondies!

    Note from Alanna, 2023: I originally shared this recipe in 2010, inspired by recipes from David Lebovitz and Heidi Swanson, two food writers who also inspired me to start TBG in the first place! These healthy chocolate almond butter rice crispy treats quickly developed a bit of a cult following.

    • They were named a Community Pick on Food52 (where they currently have 4.5 stars out of 60 ratings) when I entered them in a cereal contest. They were even included in Food52's Baking cookbook!
    • I made huge batches of them at a summer music camp in the Mendocino Woodlands, where bonafide hippies flocked to them in droves.
    • They traveled around the world including to Tasmania where food blogger Dearna of To Her Core made them with puffed amaranth.

    Ingredients & Substitution Suggestions

    These healthy chocolate rice crispy treats are made with just 8 ingredients that you may already have in your pantry!

    • Crisp rice cereal forms the base. Be sure to use certified gluten-free crisp rice cereal if need be. I prefer the kinds from healthy foodie stores, such as crisp brown rice cereal, but the original Rice Krispies will work too. I don't recommend puffed rice cereal as it doesn't stay as crisp, but it will work in a pinch. Or you can experiment with puffed grains such as amaranth. I bet toasted buckwheat would be a fun addition too!
    • Almond butter adds a creamy mouthfeel. Feel free to use any nut or seed butter you like, such as hazelnut butter or peanut butter. (I'm itching to try these with tahini!)
    • Maple syrup and brown rice syrup add natural sweetness and give the bars that gooey feel of classic rice crispy treats. The thickness and low sweetness of the brown rice syrup is important for the texture of these, but I've successfully made these with coconut nectar in place of both the maple and brown rice syrups. Feel free to experiment with other sweeteners but do so at your own risk!
    • Chocolate helps set the bars and it adds a luscious topping too. I prefer a high cacao mass chocolate since the bars are fairly sweet, 70% or higher. Source chocolate made with maple (such as Raaka) or coconut sugar (such as Hu or Guittard) to make these completely refined sugar-free if you like.
    • Coconut oil adds richness to the bars and topping. Be sure to use coconut oil that's solid at room temperature. You could swap in ghee if dairy isn't an issue.
    • Fine sea salt sharpens the flavor of the bars, while flaky salt adds an addictive crunch to the topping.
    • Top these with toasted, chopped almonds (or sliced / slivered almonds) if you've got 'em, or sprinkle with some cacao nibs, hemp hearts, or other nuts or seeds if you prefer!

    How to Make Hippie Crispies

    These healthy chocolate rice crispy treats are so easy to make in just 10 minutes of active time. They'll need to chill for about 30 minutes after you assemble them, and they'll keep for up to a few days at room temperature. They're best eaten the day of assembly when they're the most crisp.

    All you need to make these is a loaf pan, a saucepan, and a spatula.

    Make the bars:

    • Line a loaf pan with a sling of parchment paper, or grease with coconut oil.
    • In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the maple syrup and brown rice syrup to a gentle simmer for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
    • Remove from the heat and stir in the almond butter, chocolate, coconut oil and fine sea salt until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is melted.
    • Add the crisp rice cereal and gently fold it into the syrup mixture.
    • Pack the mixture firmly and evenly into the lined pan.

    Make the topping:

    • In the same saucepan, scraped clean, melt the remaining chocolate and coconut oil over very low heat, stirring constantly until just melted.
    • Pour the topping mixture over the bars, spreading it smooth, and sprinkle with the nuts and flaky salt, if using.
    • Let the bars set in the refrigerator until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to several hours.
    • Lift the sling out of the pan and cut the bars into 8 squares.
    • Devour!

    My Original Post from 2010: How I Developed this healthy chocolate rice crispy treat recipe

    The other night after rehearsal my dancemate and friend, T, requested that I post a simple recipe, something for people lacking things like stand mixers and food processors. Something that could be made in a kitchen the size of (hand-gesture implying) 1-square-foot.

    Though T is on the small side, I hope for her sake that her kitchen is slightly larger than 1 square foot. But I ignored that, and instead told her that I had just the recipe.

    These are stupid simple to make. They take about 10 minutes to assemble, and 30 minutes or so to set. You don't need any fancy equipment, not even an oven. You could make these in a college dorm room, camping, or with kids. Heck, you could even be a hippie and still make these (dorm room/camping/kids optional).

    You do need something which produces heat, like a burner, hotplate, propane stove, or microwave, as well as a saucepan, loaf pan and a rubber spatula. A piece of parchment paper is handy, but you could use wax paper, foil, or a greased pan instead. But that's pretty much it.

    Yes, but what are these magical mystery treats, you ask?

    shot of rice crispy mix in a baking tray pre cooking
    Well, several months ago I developed an odd craving for rice crispy (I refuse to spell that with a 'k') treats but couldn't bear to buy cheap marshmallows (scary), didn't want to shell out the cashola for upscale 'mallows (like the veg ones at Rainbow) and was too lazy and scared of breaking my kitchenaid (which happened the last time) to make my own. I like the flavor of Heidi Swanson's version, which uses peanut butter, maple syrup and agar agar, but wanted a bit more chew and goo. I also wanted them to be chocolaty, but knew it would be a balancing act to get the chocolate to set the bars just enough. I imagined using an unrefined liquid sweetener in place of the mallows, nut butter for gooey richness, and chocolate to temper the sweetness.

    overhead shot of rice crispy treat mix before baking
    My first attempt tasted good, but wasn't nearly gooey enough. I lost heart and moved onto other culinary obsessions. Several months later I stumbled across the love of my life (David Lebovitz)'s recipe for Triple Chocolate Scotcheroos, which are essentially rice crispy treats made (marshmallow free!) with butterscotch chips, nutella, sugar and rice syrup. I took a cue from David and boiled the sweeteners (I used maple instead of the sugar, which worked great) and used a combination of almond butter, coconut oil and chocolate instead of the nutella. The result was chewy, gooey, chocolaty crispy treats made with ingredients you can find at your local health-food co-op, a minimal amount of refined sugar, and no trans fats or gelatin. They also happen to be gluten-free and vegan, and are quite sturdy enough to pack into a lunchbox or take on a hike, picnic, or peace rally.

    Feel free to go crazy with different nut butters, nuts and even chocolates. I've a mind to try some with hazelnut butter and topped with toasted hazels, and another batch with peanut butter, dark milk chocolate and salted peanuts. Pistachios would make a striking topping, perhaps with a bit of cardamom in the bars, or coconut butter. Finely ground espresso powder and chocolate covered beans on the top would be a treat for coffee lovers, as would cacao nibs for chocophiles.

    See? They're kinda healthy. Like something a hippie might eat. A hippie with serious munchies.

    Or a svelte dancer with a sweet-tooth cooking out of a 1-square-foot kitchen.

    I gave some of these to my yoga teacher and told her they were 'like healthy rice crispies treats.' The following week after class she demanded to know what was healthy about them, since they certainly didn't taste at all healthy, which I took as quite the compliment.

    Hippie Crispies (Healthy Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats)

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    These healthy chocolate rice crispy treats (AKA Hippie Crispies) are made with just 8 ingredients in 10 minutes of active time. No marshmallows, no corn syrup, no butter! They're chewy, gooey, crispy, crunchy, not too sweet, and they're naturally gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free too!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Chilling time: 30 minutes minutes
    Total: 40 minutes minutes
    Servings: 8 2-inch squares (one 8x4" or 9x5" loaf pan)

    Ingredients

    The bars:

    • ¼ cup maple syrup* (3 ounces)
    • ¼ cup brown rice syrup* (2 ¾ ounces)
    • ¼ cup almond butter (2 ounces)
    • ¼ cup chocolate wafers, or coarsely chopped chocolate (preferably 70% cacao mass) (1 ¼ ounces)
    • 1 tablespoon raw virgin coconut oil (½ ounce)
    • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 2 cups crisp rice cereal (2 ¼ ounces; not 'puffed' rice)

    The chocolaty topping:

    • 1 tablespoon raw virgin coconut oil (½ ounce)
    • ¼ cup chocolate wafers, or coarsely chopped chocolate (preferably 70% cacao mass) (1 ¼ ounces)
    • 2 tablespoons chopped, toasted almonds (optional)
    • ⅛ teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

    Instructions

    • Line an 8x4 or 9x5" loaf pan with a sling of parchment paper.
    • In a large saucepan, bring the maple syrup and rice syrup to a rolling boil for 1 minute, stirring frequently with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon (be careful not to let it boil over). Remove from the heat and stir in the nut butter, 1/4 cup chocolate, 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1/8 teaspoon fine salt until smooth and the chocolate is melted. Fold in the rice cereal and pack the mixture firmly and evenly into the lined pan (damp fingers can help here).
    • In a small saucepan (or the same big one, if you've scraped it clean), melt the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate and 1 tablespoon coconut oil together over very low heat, stirring constantly just until melted (be careful not to scorch the chocolate). Pour the chocolate mixture over the rice mixture, spreading to smooth. Sprinkle the nuts and flaky salt over the top.
    • Let the bars set at cool room temperature (about 1 hour) or in the fridge (about 1/2 hour) until firm. Lift the sling out of the pan, trim away the edges if you like, and cut into 8 squares.
    • These treats are best the day they are made. They will keep at room temperature for several days, though the cereal will soften slightly.

    Notes

    *Brown rice syrup is thicker and less sweet than other sweeteners and it's worth seeking out for this recipe. You can replace both the maple syrup and brown rice syrups with coconut nectar if you like. Experiment with other liquid sweeteners at your own risk! 
    TBG tips: 
    • If you are very sensitive to gluten, make sure to get crisp rice cereal that is certified gluten-free; some cereals contain barley malt. I've gotten the best results using Barbara's Bakery Crisp Brown Rice, which is fruit juice sweetened and seems to hold up the best and stay the crispiest.
    • Feel free to double the recipe and form the squares in an 8 or 9" square pan, which is advisable since these disappear quickly.
    • If you want more chocolate flavor, you can double the chocolate and coconut oil in the topping, and/or top the treats with cacao nibs in addition to the almonds. 
    • Feel free to add other ingredients, such as 1/4 cup hemp seed hearts or toasted unsweetened shredded coconut, or 2 tablespoons cacao nibs to the bars. 
    • These treats are crispest the day they are made, but will keep refrigerated or at room temperature for up to a few days.
    • All ounce measurements are by weight.
    • Nutritional values are based on one of eight servings.

      I have been enjoying the descriptions on your blog with no motivation to actually cook anything until I saw this easy no-bake recipe. We mortgaged our house to get the ingredients at Berkeley Bowl and it was worth every penny!!!! I have sampled some vegan treats in the past that were tolerable but this tasted like the ultimate in deliciousness. Keep up the excellent work as well as the alluring photographs!

        Hi! I'd be concerned that maple syrup with its thinner texture won't set the bars properly, though adding extra chocolate could take care of this problem. You could almost certainly substitute corn syrup (preferably organic, if you can find it), or Lyle's golden syrup. Please let us know how they come out!

I have a bag of Millet Puffs in my pantry and haven't been able to find anything to use them for. Do you think I could substitute the millet puffs in place of the rice cereal? Just wondering.....thanks!

        Thank you much for the sweet note!! My hunch is that millet puffs might not be crisp enough to stand up to the moisture in the recipe, and would become soggy (since puffed rice doesn't work the way that crisp rice cereal does). But please let me know how they come out if you decide to give them a try!

      Lazy hippie chiming in. The weather here is foul and I didn't want to go out to buy ingredients, so I just used what I had. I used some "fancy" rice cereal with pepitas, coconut and sultanas in it, and subbed the rice syrup for golden syrup and the almond butter for peanut butter. They still set just fine, and are delicious though a bit sweet.

      I bake regularly for our school canteen on Fridays, and these are a massive hit. The school is nut free, so I replace the nut butter with tahini, and leave out the chopped nuts ( I always replace chopped nuts with chopped pretzels for the school recipes, but this is perfectly delicious without, so I haven't bothered yet). I also use brown rice cereal. Every single week there are requests for these, no matter what else is on the menu. Thanks very much for the recipe.

      These look lovely! I just have one question though, can some of the ingredients be swapped for others that are easier to find? I've never seen rice syrup, almond butter or coconut oil, are these essential to the recipe? For example could I use all maple syrup instead of a combination of maple and rice syrup, and will ordinary butter substitute for the almond butter? I understand this may make the recipe slightly less healthy :)

        Hi! You should be able to find those ingredients at any Whole Foods or probably even Trader Joe's. You can use butter for the coconut oil, peanut butter for the almond butter. Not sure if maple syrup will work as it's thinner and more sweet so you might have to tinker with it. But you can use coconut nectar or corn syrup in place of both. Let me know what you try! :)

          I made these yesterday, and they are lovely and gooey! Only issue is mine haven't set very well and are falling apart, but from your photos yours look much more robust. Do you think I have too much liquid? I used golden syrup instead of brown rice syrup and also ran out of maple syrup so had to use slightly more golden syrup than maple. Also much nuttier than I expected, and while I like the almond taste it's a little strong at first and i'd worry others would find it too much... do you think tweaking it to include a little less almond butter would affect how they set?
          But overall a success and will make them again!

    Gluten-Free #treslechescake (DF option) Last week Gluten-Free #treslechescake (DF option)

Last week I shared my favorite gluten-free sponge cake recipe, and here's another fun way to use it. Add an extra egg white to the batter and soak the cake with sweet milks (or coconut milks) for a gluten-free (and optionally dairy-free) riff on the beloved Latin-American sweet. 

I developed the gluteny version of this recipe during my years as a pastry chef at a Latin-American restaurant here in SF. I would bake the cake in a large hotel pan, cut out rounds to make individual cakes for plating, and promptly devour all the cake scraps. 

While I don't recommend having cake for lunch, I do recommend whipping up a tres leches cake for your next gathering. They're brilliant for parties because they can be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve. 

Top slices with whipped cream (or whipped coconut cream) and fresh berries or, more traditionally, a layer of cinnamon sifted over the top. Creamy, comforting deliciousness. 

The last shot is the coconut flour tres leches cake from #alternativebakerbook topped with lime-kissed mango. So fresh!

    As blueberries come into season here in California As blueberries come into season here in California, I've been dreaming about this gluten-free blueberry coffee cake. It's moist and tender, layered with jammy fruit and an addictively salty-sweet streusel topping. 

Oat flour, sorghum flour, and sweet rice flour build a moist and flavorful cake, and almond flour in the topping helps the streusel hold together. 

It would be an ideal addition to weekend brunch or potlucks, and it takes well to variations. I've made it with rhubarb instead of berries, for instance - so good!

Here are a few things readers have said about this cake:

"Better than any gluten-full coffee cake I ever had. This recipe is a keeper. THANK YOU!!" 

"So this is the best coffee cake I’ve ever had, GF or otherwise! Another genius recipe!"

"This was such a hit last night served as a dinner dessert. People were having seconds and thirds! It was absolutely delicious, fluffy and moist and flavorful with a crunch from the pecans on top." 

"This coffee cake is so good - a light, tender crumb and with a pleasant touch of lemon. If I didn’t know it was gluten free I wouldn’t even suspect so."

    Gluten-free sponge cake is so easy to make. This a Gluten-free sponge cake is so easy to make. This airy cake can be turned into #victoriaspongecake, tiramisu, tres leches, or layered with your favorite frosting and toppings. 

This version with whipped mascarpone, berry chia jam, and fresh berries was actually our wedding cake!

A trio of flours - millet, sweet rice, and oat - give the cake a mild, neutral flavor with a moist & springy crumb. 

The cake layers are naturally dairy-free and can be sweetened with maple syrup instead of sugar if you prefer.

    If you liked the gluten-free scones that I shared If you liked the gluten-free scones that I shared recently, you're going to love these gluten-free strawberry #shortcakes! 🍓

Tender almond flour biscuits (adapted from the scone recipe) are smothered with billows of whipped cream (shown here with culinayogurt for an easy DF option) and juicy strawberries. They're buttery, creamy, bright-tasting, and not too sweet.

Shortcakes make an ideal dessert for spring gatherings because the components can all be prepared ahead and assembled when you're ready to serve up dessert. 

Feel free to play around with different berries. Add other flavors to the biscuits (I especially love the lemon ginger variation from the scone recipe here). Or add a splash of liqueur to the fruit.
