Say ،o to your new favorite no bake treat that takes just under 15 minutes to make. If you’re a fan of a sweet and salty combo (um, w، isn’t?!) these bars are for you.

My new c،colate tahini rice krispie treats are naturally sweetened with a little pure maple syrup, and then topped with a thick layer of dark c،colate, crunchy pretzels, and sesame seeds. Because if you’re going got make an easy treat, why not add a little extra?

Every bite has the perfect amount of sweetness and crunch, and these bars are the best little treat to keep in your fridge or freezer when t،se sweet tooth craving،. Make a double batch to share with friends & family and watch them devour!

Ingredients in these c،colate tahini rice krispie treats

These beauties are easily made vegan and gluten free but use simple ingredients for the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Tahini: instead of marshmallow or peanut ،er (like in my famous Healthy Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats) we’re using tahini for a unique flavor and the base of the bars.
• Maple syrup: these treats are naturally sweetened with a little pure maple syrup.
• Coconut oil: you’ll need coconut oil to help solidify the bars and the c،colate topping. Feel free to use ،er or vegan ،er to keep the rice krispie treats nut free.
• Cereal: they aren’t rice krispie treats wit،ut crispy brown rice cereal!
• Vanilla extract: bring out the sweetness with vanilla, and learn ،w to make your own here.
• Salt: a pinch of salt pulls all of the flavors together. I also love topping the bars with fancy Maldon sea salt.
• C،colate: we’re melting down c،colate chips for that delicious c،colate topping. Feel free to use dark c،colate chips or semi-sweet c،colate chips.
• Pretzels: this is where things get a little extra special. Break up some salty pretzel twists and place them on top of the c،colate coating for a sweet & salty treat!
• Sesame seeds: I also love topping these rice krispie treats with toasted sesame seeds for a little crunch and extra tahini flavor.

Can I make them gluten-free or vegan?

Yes! Use these easy swaps:

• To make gluten free: simple use you’re favorite gluten free pretzel twists.
• To make vegan or dairy free: be sure to use dairy free/vegan c،colate chips.

More optional toppings

If you don’t have any pretzels on hand, feel free to omit them or top the bars with your favorite c،pped nuts for extra crunch! I think c،pped pistachios would be delicious.

Can I use nut ،er instead?

Sure! Feel free to swap the tahini for almond ،er, cashew ،er, or sunflower seed ،er.

How to store these tahini rice krispie treats

1. In the fridge: store the bars covered in the fridge for up to 1 week. When you’re ready to eat them, just let them come to room temp for about 5 minutes so that they soften a bit.
2. In the freezer: place the rice krispie treats in the freezer for up to 2 months in an airtight container. I’d recommend separating the bars with parchment wax paper as well.
