Notes

Make sure not to heat the liquid ingredients too much (just melted). Otherwise, the nut butter won't mix well, and the honey becomes too hard.

Any nut or seed butter works in this recipe. Cashew butter especially makes them decadent. Use sunflower seed butter if you need to make them nut-free.

Stir in the liquid ingredients and chocolate chips separately, or the chocolate chips will melt into the gluten-free mixture.

Press the rice krispie mixture into the pan firmly as this is what will help to hold them together when slicing.

Store these rice krispie treats with marshmallows in the freezer and let them thaw for 5-10 minutes before eating. They can sit out longer, but they definitely get stickier!
