Ingredients

2 cups rice Chex cereal*
3 cups chocolate Chex cereal
1 cup raw sliced almonds
½ cup (heaping) dairy-free chocolate chips or chunks semi-sweet or dark
½ teaspoon salt
2 ⅔ cups unsweetened shredded coconut Not flaked
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup maple syrup, room temperature

Instructions

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place Chex cereals, sliced almonds, chocolate chips, and salt in a large bowl. Gently mix to combine. Set aside.
Place shredded coconut in the bowl of a food processor. Process, stopping occasionally to wipe down sides of bowl, until coconut turns into a smooth, creamy mixture, about 4-7 minutes. Then add melted coconut oil while processing until incorporated.
Tranfer coconut butter to a medium glass bowl. Whisk in vanilla extract, followed slowly by the maple syrup. Heat mixture in the microwave for two 30-second intervals, whisking vigorously between each interval.
Pour coconut butter mixture on top of cereal mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, gently fold coconut butter mixture into dry ingredients until mostly coated.
Transfer mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Spread into an even layer, while gently patting it down a bit. Allow to cool and set for at least 3 hours before breaking apart.
Store in an airtight container.

Notes

*You can use 5 cups of chocolate Chex if you prefer. I like the balance of both.
