- Mix in the cocoa powder, chia seeds, salt, and vanilla, mixing until well.
- Stir in rice cereal, mixing well.
- Press into a 8 X 8 greased pan ( or lined with wax paper), and press into place (I used my Silpat to accomplish this with no mess!).

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
LOVE the idea of having the kids make a lunchbox cookbook of their favorites! You have a lot of great lunchbox ideas here… would you be interested in posting a few at my new link party featuring allergy-friendly lunchbox ideas? I definitely need some new inspiration for lunch, and I'm sure there are lots of other moms out there who do too! The party goes live on Friday morning at http://allergyfreecookery.blogspot.com. Hope to see you there!

Your Lunchbox Cookbook is a great idea – involving young people in making what they eat is so important! Your Rice Crispy Treats sound delicious and really wholesome too.
Thank you for your submission on Nourishing Treasures’ Make Your Own! Monday link-up.
Check back today when the new link-up is running to see if you were one of the top 3 featured posts!
What a delicious rice crispy recipe. I love that it is free of refined sugar since we have to limit is sugar for one of my kids.
Looks delish! I made something very similar last week, only without the chocolate. It was a huge hit!
Those look so tasty. Nice and chocolatey.
Thanks for linking up to Healthy 2Day Wednesday. Hope to see you there again tonight/tomorrow.
YUM! I have tweeted and pinned this recipe!
