Step 1

In a blender or Vitamax combine the dates, nut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cinnamon. Puree the mixture until it is relatively smooth. If you are using a blender, you might want to use a tempter.

Step 2

In a bowl combine the crispy rice and hemp hearts together. Add the date mixture and using your hands, knead it a little so it all comes together.

Step 3

Press the rice mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan or a square baking dish (shape doesn't really matter here). I find using a spoon helps to press the mixture into the corners.

Step 4

Chill the pan of rice mixture while you melt your chocolate.

Step 5

In a Bain Marie or microwave, melt the chocolate just until no clumps remain.

Step 6

Pour the chocolate over the chilled rice base and then return the bar to the fridge to fully set.

Step 7

Once the chocolate is hard, slice into the bar.
