No-Bake Cannabis Rice Crispy Treats

Ingredients & directions

Nut butter rice crispy treats

Ingredients

Use prepared infused coconut oil and measure it separately from the plain oil. Check the cereal label if you need the bars to be gluten-free.

Directions

  1. Crispy rice cereal, nut butter, syrup and coconut oil beside a lined square pan

    Line the pan and measure

    Line an 8 × 8-inch pan with parchment, leaving a little overhang to lift the slab. Measure the cereal into a large bowl and set the binder ingredients beside the stove.

  2. Nut butter and brown rice syrup blended in a small saucepan

    Warm the binder

    Stir the nut butter, syrup, both coconut oils and vanilla in a small saucepan over gentle heat until smooth. Take the pan off the heat when the oils and nut butter have blended.

  3. Crispy rice cereal being folded into a warm nut butter binder

    Coat the cereal

    Pour the warm binder over the cereal. Fold and scrape the bowl until the grains are coated and the binder is distributed throughout.

  4. A spatula pressing coated rice cereal flat in the lined square pan

    Press, chill and cut

    Press the mixture into an even layer in the lined pan. Chill for 30 to 60 minutes until firm, then lift out the slab and cut it into equal pieces.

Storage Cover and refrigerate until serving. Label the treats as cannabis-infused and store them securely away from children and pets.

GET THE TEXTURE RIGHT

A binder that sets when chilled

Brown rice syrup and nut butter hold this version together. Mix the binder evenly before folding in the cereal, then level the slab so the thickness is consistent.

Honey makes a non-vegan variation and can give a softer set. Keep that variation chilled; do not assume a liquid-sweetener substitution will behave exactly like the listed recipe.

Use prepared infused coconut oil for the measured infused portion. Adding extra infused oil to fix texture also changes the estimated dose.

PLAN THE CUTS BEFORE SERVING

Equal pieces help with portion estimates.

4 × 4 EXAMPLE CUTTING GRID

Four rows by four columns make 16 pieces. This is a cutting example, not a recommended serving size.

Estimated THC per piece = estimated THC in the finished batch ÷ number of equal pieces. Smaller pieces still need a clear estimate; mixing and cutting do not verify a dose.

A FEW KITCHEN QUESTIONS

Before you make a batch

Are these marshmallow rice treats?
No. This recipe uses nut butter and brown rice syrup. For a marshmallow cereal bar, see Fruity Pebbles treats.
Can I use sunflower seed butter?
It is one of the listed choices. Check all ingredient labels for your dietary needs and avoid cross-contact if preparing for someone with an allergy.
How strong is one square?
It depends on the infused oil, the amount retained in the batch and the number of pieces. Without reliable strength information, the THC per square remains unknown.
