Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup almond butter (I like Barney Butter)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 9 cups square shaped cereal (see notes)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (heaping cup)
  • 1 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Place the almond butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl.
  • Microwave for 1 minute. Give the mixture a good stir. Microwave for 30 more seconds.
  • Remove the mixture from the microwave. Add the almond extract to the mixture and stir well.
  • Pour 9 cups of cereal into the mixture. Working quickly, stir to coat completely (I like to stir with a silicone spatula and then put the container lid on and shake well too).
  • Once the mixture is coated, shake the powdered sugar on top of the cereal. Put the lid back onto the container and shake again, covering all of the cereal.
  • Add the sliced almonds and give it one more stir.
  • Serve and enjoy! Store in a sealed container for up to a week.

Notes

Some cereals, like Rice Chex, contain Vitamin D3.  If you avoid this, you can use other vegan square shaped cereals.
