chocolate:
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, dairy-free

Directions:
1. Combine the peanut butter, cinnamon and sweetener until softened and smooth.
2. Fold the peanut butter mixture into the rice – fold very well until the rice is totally coated. Set aside.
3. Heat the chocolate and oil until melted and smooth – I used a microwave.
4. Pour a thin layer of chocolate along the baking sheet. Reserve at least 2 Tbsp of melted chocolate. Pour the rice over top and smooth to a thin layer. Drizzle the remaining chocolate over top.
5. Place tray in the freezer. The bars should be shilled and realy to enjoy in just about ten minutes! Store in the fridge or freezer.
