Healthier 100 Grand Candy Bars
This recipe is a healthier take on the classic 100 grand candy bars - one of my childhood favorites! They come together with just a few ingredients and are super easy to make! The center of the bars is a crunchy toffee filling that are then covered in chocolate. To die for!
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 Can full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3/4 cup Maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- 3 cups brown rice cereal
Coating
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the caramel by adding the maple syrup , coconut milk, coconut oil, vanilla & sea salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly to keep it at a simmer, stirring very often.
- let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, whisking frequently, until it begins to reduce to a caramel-like consistency. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the brown rice cereal. If using a candy bar mold, divide the mixture amongst the mold. If using a pan (to cut into bars later) press the mixture into a parchment-lined bread loaf pan. Place the pan in the freezer for an hour or two to firm up completely.
- Once the bars are firm, remove from the mold or pan. If making them in a pan, let them sit out for a bit to thaw a little so they don't crack a bunch while cutting.
- Melt the chocolate in a large bowl. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Dip each bar, then place on the cookie sheet. Return to the freezer for an hour or two to allow them to fully set up.
- Store them in an air-tight container in the freezer.
