These double dark chocolate rice krispie treats are a fun twist on a childhood classic! They’re loaded with dark chocolate, honey, and sunflower butter for the ultimate no-bake treat!!
Plus, these rice krispies don’t use any marshmallows and instead rely on a mixture of dark chocolate, sunflower butter, and honey to bind everything together and replicate the ooey-gooey texture of marshmallows. With the added bonus of making these treats nutrient-dense and full of healthy fats!
Healthy Double Dark Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats Ingredients
- Cocoa brown rice cereal: My go-to brand is One Degree Organics brown rice cereal; the ingredients are amazing, and it’s (very) lightly sweetened with coconut sugar. If you can’t find a cocoa brown rice cereal, just use a plain brown rice cereal.
- Dark chocolate: Go for a 70% cacao dark chocolate.
- Sunflower butter: Feel free to swap in peanut butter if you prefer.
- Honey: If you’re vegan, sub with maple syrup.
- Vanilla paste or ground vanilla bean: Love Beyond Good ground vanilla that is just like vanilla paste, but without any added fillers. If you don’t have vanilla paste/ground vanilla, substitute with vanilla extract.
- Kosher salt:Â Just a little pinch of salt amplifies everything!
Tips for the Best Double Dark Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats
- Use a 9×9 square pan for crisp-edged, perfectly square, rice krispie treats.Â
- Firmly pack (like really really firmly pack) the rice krispies down with a measuring cup or glass. It’ll compress the rice krispies and make the treats more dense and chewy.Â
- Freeze the rice krispies before cutting them. It’s much easier to cut these when they’re frozen, as opposed to sticky and hot on the counter.Â
- Store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer – they’ll get too soft on the counter. I like to put a sheet of parchment between each layer so the krispies don’t stick to each other.
So excited for you to make these! Don’t forget to leave a rating and review below!!

Ingredients
- 5 cups (230g) cocoa brown rice cereal or plain brown rice cereal
- 1/2 cup (160g) honey
- 1/2 cup (130g) sunflower butter
- 1/2 cup (65g) dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 tsp vanilla paste or ground vanilla (sub with vanilla extract)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep the pan. Line a 9×9 square pan with parchment paper.Â
- Prep the cereal. To a large bowl, add the brown rice cereal and set aside.
- Make the syrup mixture. In a saucepan or pot, add the honey, sunflower butter, dark chocolate, vanilla, and salt. Heat on low heat until it’s warm and the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly so the chocolate doesn’t burn.
- Mix, pack, and freeze. Pour the syrup mixture over the cereal and fold together with a rubber spatula. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Using a measuring cup or glass, firmly pack the rice krispie treats down to compress them. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour until set.
- Cut and store. Cut the rice krispie treats into 16 squares and store them in a glass container in the fridge or freezer for up to 1 week.
