Ingredients

1/3 Cup Pumpkin Seed Butter
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
1 1/2 Cups Rice Puffs Cereal
1/2 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
30g Dark Chocolate (chopped)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin seed butter, maple syrup, ginger, and cinnamon. Gently fold in the rice puffs cereal and pumpkin seeds.
Transfer and spread the mixture across a parchment-lined container or baking dish. Place another layer of parchment paper on top and firmly press into an even packed layer. (Note: If not compact enough, the bars may come out crumbly.)
In the microwave, heat the dark chocolate in a small bowl for 30 seconds at a time, until melted. Drizzle overtop with a small spoon.
Freeze for about 30 minutes and slice into bars. Enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers - Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to two months.

Serving size - One serving equals two bars. A 9 x 6 1/2-inch container was used to make 12 bars or six servings.

No pumpkin seed butter - Use tahini, sunflower seed butter, peanut butter, or almond butter instead.

No maple syrup? Use honey instead.
