Only this time? I made a more educated culinary decision. Chocolate. No matter the question, the answer is always chocolate... unless it's peanut butter. Oftentimes, the answer is peanut butter. But today, no need to pick just one when you can have both. Rejoice, for we have chocolate and peanut butter rice krispy treats. Vegan, gluten-free & maple-sweetened, I might add.

@Julie @ Table for Two: Made them just for you, Jules. (and for NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER LOVERS DAY!) ;)
I think its time to make rice krispy treats. I've deprived myself from them for tooooo long! Thanks for the recipe!
Chocolate + Peanut butter is always a good choice! Sounds delicious. :)
@Meagan: Rice krispy-deprivation is the worst kind. Fix that, girl!
@ Leah // Freutcake: Wish I could share with you...well, not really. But I WOULD! ;)
GIRL. I've been thinking about making your PB krispies since the day you posted them but I ALWAYS forget to look for brown rice cereal and I don't want to use regular rice cereal because then it wouldn't be a health food and I wouldn't be able to eat the whole batch by myself but now since you posted these with pb AND chocolate I can no longer resist (said in one breathe because I'm so excited). Moral of the story? Brown rice cereal box, I'm coming for you.
Can I replace the arrowroot starch with cornstarch?
National Peanut Butter Day? Wha???? Methinks a belated celebration may be in order for this weekend... :) btw- these look amazeballs.
Oh my word these look absolutely amazing. I definitely need to give this a try! xo
