Key Ingredients
- Brown Rice Crisps– I used one degree organics brand. You can use another rice krispie type cereal if you prefer. These are great because they’re small but still pack the crunch
- Peanut Butter – make sure you get a runny/drippy peanut butter (not the hard solid part that tends to accumulate on the bottom of the jars), as this will yield in the gooeiest caramel filling. I always opt for organic peanut butter, since peanuts are a heavily sprayed GMO crop
- Collagen – adds a boost of protein, it dissolves right away when whisked into a warm liquid (like the melted coconut oil), and it adds to the gooeyness, too. It can be left out without overly changing the texture of the caramel
- Dark Chocolate – a rich chocolate, and don’t forget the flakey sea salt on top, perfectly compliments the sweetness from the caramel layer. My favorite is Pascha 85% organic dark chocolate. I also like their 70% stevia sweetened dark chocolate

Notes
Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Peanut Butter – can sub for cashew butter or sunbutter
- Pure Maple Syrup– can sub for medjool date syrup or sugar free syrup if you prefer
- Coconut oil – can sub for another neutral oil, such as algae oil or avocado oil
- Protein powder – can be subbed for oat flour
- Collagen – if you’d prefer not to use it just leave it out. It adds a bit to the gooeyness, but the caramel will still taste great without it

Notes
Can omit the collagen if you’d like. It adds a bit to the gooeyness of the caramel but the taste will be fine without it
