Crayons!
I used to love crayons. A lot.
I’d entertain myself for hours with a pad of paper and box of Crayolas. My favorite part was probably the built-in pencil sharpener; but I liked the funny color names too. Did you know there was once a color called “Dirty Sneakers”? Or “Dingy Dungeon”?
Sometime around the years of fourth or fifth grade, crayons stepped aside to make room for markers, and later gelly roll pens. (Anyone remember those?) But on my first day of college, we were asked to make name tags… and they gave us crayons!
Everyone was so excited; you would’ve thought they were handing out candy. Or money.
Yeah, that would’ve been nice.
None of this has much to do with rice crispy treats, except that I was at the store a few days ago and spotted crayons on sale for 25 cents. So I bought a pack and threw them into the photoshoot.
The following is based on my Rice Crispy Treat Babies. I thought the chocolate version deserved its own post. Chocolate should never be just a side note. (By the way, don’t you think Crayola is long overdue for the creation of a “chocolate” crayon? Preferably a scented one. Then again… if they came out with something like that, it could be dangerous; I’d want to eat it! They’re probably better off sticking with the aforementioned dirty sneakers.)
Cocoa Crispy Treats
(can be gluten-free!)
Recipe inspired by these babies.
- 3 cups rice crispies (I used gf brown rice crispies)
- 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt (I used salted pb, too)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp nut butter of choice (For lower-cal option, see calorie link below.)
- 1/2 cup sticky sweetener ( (I used agave. For low-sugar options, see calorie link below.)
- optional: 1/4 cup cocoa powder (or your favorite chocolate protein powder)
- optional: melted chocolate to drizzle over the top
Mix your pb (or other nut butter of choice), sweetener, vanilla, cocoa, and salt. Melt (either in the microwave or stove), then pour over the cereal and stir very well, making sure to coat all the crispies. (For a richer chocolate taste, try subbing chocolate chips for some of the cocoa powder.) Form into balls or line a pan with wax paper and spread the mixture evenly into the pan. Place a sheet of wax paper on top of the mixture, then press down as firmly as you can. Really press it down! Freeze for at least a half hour before slicing.
These treats can be stored in the freezer, in the fridge, or loosely covered in a cool, dry place. But, as with the non-chocolate version, the best place to store them is in your tummy.
Question of the Day:
Did you like crayons when you were little?
Honestly, I think my mom liked crayons even more than I did. Before discovering them, I had a love affair with smelly markers, and I’d always come home from preschool with dots all over my nose. Switching to Crayolas saved quite a bit of scrubbing my face :).
Also: I’m amazed so many people want to be CCK taste-testers!!!
Amazed and excited! But obviously the email idea is not going to work, and there’s no way I’m turning willing volunteers away. So I’m trying to find an easier way to share the recipes. Stay tuned. After figuring it out, I’ll post more info later this week. Thank you so so much to all the volunteers!
Qi Ting @ Misadventures of Fat free Baking says
Especially the yellow ones! I want to try this! With banana butter 😀
Anna @ Food Fitness and Frolicking says
I loved crayons, and I STILL do! Crayons > Markers anyday. Really.
Those rice crispy treats look amazing. I’ve always wanted a recipe that doesn’t have a jumbo bag of marshmellows in it..I’m really not a marshmellow fan. But this recipe? Marshmellow free and delicious. I am definitely going to give this a whirl, like RIGHT NOW 🙂
Carrie (Moves 'N Munchies) says
AWW these bring back memories! i used to eat rice crispy treats all the time when i was little! CRAYONs are awesome! i still lov em!

One of the best parts of being a teacher is buying school supplies every year. I’m 26 and STILL love crayons! 🙂
Demelza says
Hi Katie,
I didn’t get around to commenting yesterday but I wanted to say that it’s such a sweet idea that you’re willing to let so many people be taste testers for your recipe. Typically, it’s “if you’re in the [blablabla] area, and want a CHANCE to become a [blablabla] taste tester, then [jump through all these hoops]!” It’s so refreshing to see someone who’s willing to let everyone get in on the fun!
As for today’s question: Crayons (still working out how exactly I pronounce that) were okay, but my love has really always been colored pencils. It bummed me out whenever crayons would get so dull–there was no way to sharpen them!–and markers always left my drawings streaky. Colored pencils were beautiful and easy to blend and I didn’t have to worry about how I would sharpen them.
vegirl says
Rice crispy treats (the non-vegan kind) were some of the first sweet treats I ever made myself. And I was the little art kid– I thought I would be an art teacher when I grew up! I loved clay, pencil drawing, markers, paint, you name it! My grandparents would always gift me art kits at Chrsitmas ;). And I loved crayons– there is a picture of me at three (I think?) drawing with crayons on the table, which my parents would cover with hugs industrial sheets of paper, that taped the perimeter of the table, so I wouldn’t be able to draw on the table (I would not stay on the paper!).
One more story: I loved markers, and at five years old, I was infatuated with the Japanese tv series Sailor Moon (you lived in Japan… maybe you know it?). When my mom was gone one day, I decided to draw sailor moon boots on my legs with the markers… yeah, mommy wasn’t happy.
Jana says
Where do you get your Rice-Crispies from?
I do not really know what you mean… Is it like cereal? Or puffed rice? ect.
Veggie V! @Veggie V's Vegan Adventure says
Jana: Rice Crispies is a brand name of a crispy rice cereal. Puffed rice will be softer and not yield quite the same result; the treats will be more chewy than crispie. Kellogs makes the Rice Crispies, but I’ve seen other brands of crisp rice cereal in the natural foods section of my local grocery store.
Erika - The Teenage Taste says
Chocolate Rice Krispy treats used to be my favorite! I think I’ll try making a chocolate peanut butter version of these! 😀
Riri says
I think I liked plain old color pencils better than crayons 😛
M says
Ummm… I still Doodle with crayons! I like to do it to zone out and clear my mind 😉 just bought a huge box and I swear, that sharpener is 100x better than I remember!
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
I absolutely loved crayons as a child. My favorite colors were Tickle Me Pink and Cerulean. I always remember arguing with my mom about getting the box that was big enough to have the built in sharpener because she just didn’t think it was necessary. Once 5th grade rolled around, gel pens were all the rage. I remember decorating my paper bag book covers with them. Also, can’t forget all of the girls doodling their crushes’ names on their hands with them! lol.
Rachel @ Rachel's Delicious Journey Blog says
Ahh Crayola crayons *flashback* 🙂 x
Jenny says
I’d argue that the Crayola mention in this post is highly relevant… I think Rice Crispy Treats are a childhood thing to a lot of people, just as Crayolas are! 😉 Rice Crispy Treats weren’t a part of my childhood (like you, I grew up in other countries; most of my childhood was spent in Singapore, so things like Pocky and [disgustingly] bug-containing lollipops remind me of being a kid [<– never ate one, by the way!]) but Crayolas definitely were! Strangely enough, my mom LOVES the smell of Crayola crayons… They have to be Crayola, too. I wanted to make her a Crayola perfume when I was a kid, but I don't think my dad would like that.
If I try to make your rice crispy treats… they will be the first ones I'll have tried! I'll definitely try these chocolate ones before the "regular" ones, though. 🙂
Have a great Sunday!
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes says
I haven’t seen a crayola crayon for years- man I’m feeling old round about now. Love the look of these treats!
Sweet and Savvy says
These sound delicious!
Amber K says
Crayons were the best. I loved markers too, but only when they were fresh as soon as they started to dry out I couldn’t stand them. And gelly roll pens rocked! Ahh the joys of feeling young again. 🙂
Synne says
I just have to ask when you are going to post about you chocolate lava cake you mentiones some posts ago? It’s sounds amazing!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Did you see my post from yesterday? 🙂
That is one of the choices.
radioactivegan says
I melted crayons in my easy bake oven to make one big, multi-colored crayon. I got in a lot of trouble for that one …
Paige says
You should mold dark chocolate into a crayon form and ‘color’ on pieces of white chocolate with it, though i’m not sure white chocolate is vegan?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Apparently they make a vegan white chocolate. I always hated white chocolate though… ’cause it didn’t taste like chocolate lol ;).
Janelle says
Words cannot express how awesome I think this blog is. As someone with a life-threatening egg allergy, related to others with the same, it’s so nice to see a blog so dedicated to helping people overcome dietary restrictions and enjoy a delicious and healthy lifestyle. You are my newest hero.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Awww your sweet words made me smile so much, Janelle!
Lauren says
I still love crayons! Whenever I babysit, I’m usually the one to suggest coloring books, and I always join in on the coloring fun.
A Tablespoon of Liz says
oh my gosh I remember gelly roll pens! I loved those. And these look amazing, I love the photos!
Jen says
I loved all arts and crafts when I was younger. I went through a phase when I really loved pastels. That was a very messy/fingerprinty phase.
These rice crispy treats couldn’t be easier to make! I made a traditional batch about a year ago, with a big bag of marshmallows that I had to melt in a sauce pot. Yours are healthy enough to be an everyday treat. I should make them for my brother! It’s his birthday next week.
bitt of raw says
mmm i’d love to taste these out! i finally found a GF vegan rice cereal. there’s a few that are not labeled GF that have made me sick because they are made on equipment with wheat cereal.
i used to love crayons until i found out they are pretty toxic. i helped the daycare i used to work at get some nontoxic soy based ones. i’m not sure if crayola has changed it’s act since this, as this was several years ago, but we careful to wash your hands after you color and before you eat that lovely crispy treat.
bitt of raw says
not sure if this is a repost since the other one is missing….

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I used Erowon, but I also saw that the Rice Crispie (Kelloggs?) brand now has a gluten-free version out.
Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free says
I liked crayons, but I was more of a marker person….I liked the way it rolled!
And what do you mean by “Does anyone remember gelly rolly pens?” I still use them!!! Like everyday! They’re my favorite! And yes, I do use them to take notes and do my homework!!! LOVE them 😀
Veggie V! @Veggie V's Vegan Adventure says
I used to love crayons, too! The sharpener was the best. But I think it only came in the 64 count box. I always had the 64 count box, even though the supply list required a much smaller box. Ah…one of the perks of being an only child 😉
I have an idea for your recipe tester dilema. Maybe you could make a few recipes available at the beginning (or end) of the week, and whomever wanted to test them could do so. Then, they could email you their results, or post it as a comment in a special blog post just for tested recipes. I’m guessing you are leary of posting untested recipes for the world to see, but maybe you could put something in the title like, “Chocolate Molten Lava Cake for One – WIP, ” with the WIP standing for Work In Progress. Just a thought…
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I was thinking of something like that too… except I’m too lazy to make up a new blog lol. So maybe just a page that people can click on.
Also, am I showing up on your fb list now? I don’t know why I wouldn’t be there… I did like your page! 🙂
Lenna says
I still do like crayons 🙂 But I prefer watercolors or aquarels a bit more 🙂
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
These look so good! I love all Rice Krispies treats 🙂
I was more of a colouring pencils kind of girl!
Moni'sMeals says
This works for me! I am a sucker for cripy treats!
I did love crayons and coloring books when I was young (still do actually!)
Great recipe Katie, love the chocolate you added to these. 🙂
Ellen says
Did I like crayons when I was little? I love them now! I still draw people birthday cards using them.
I think crayola should come out with the Katie crayon-it could be chocolate colter and scented and hopefully vegan for you, just in case;)
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Mmm well if they were to come out with edible chocolate crayons, I would hope they’d make an entire box of just the chocolate ones ;).
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Yum! Crayons and this recipe rocks! 🙂
Shelby says
I HATE the smell of crayons but I love using them! I even have my own coloring book that my little brothers can’t use!
Crispy treats are my favorite dessert (besides carrot cake of course) and this chocolate version is just blowing my mind! So tasty!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Ooh carrot cake… what if we did carrot cake rice crispy treats?! That could be awesome!
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says
I used to love crayons when I was a kid…until I ate some, got really sick, and ended up getting my stomach pumped! 😛
Rice crispy treats are my FAVE!! I definitely need to get some puffed rice so I can make these!! I remember making some from Oh She Glows a while back and randomly blending everything together and it was EVEN BETTER! You should try it it’s sooooo good!! Oh and I LOVE all the PB in this recipe! Sounds like my heaven! 😀
LOVE YOU!! <3
Alexandra (Veggin' Out in the Kitchen) says
I may have to try these!! Like I’ve said before, I’m not a big fan of regular rice crispy treats, but I don’t think I’ve ever had the chocolate variety – everything is better with chocolate! 😛
Crayons, colored pencils, gel pens… anything that can be used to color with, I love! 😀 They bring out the five year old in me 😉
<3 <3
Peantbutterlover says
My favorite color was macaroni and cheese!
Alexandra says
Love these! Much better than the traditional butter and marshmallow filled ones, thanks!
Jess says
OMG Yum!
I just made this with some smashed up brown rice cakes instead of the crispeys and i used a little tahini and coconut oil instead of nut butter 🙂 I dont think i used enough wet incredients but I blended all the incredients together with my mixer which really turned up the rice cakes but ANYWAYS it came out kinda crumbly istead of like a bar because i didnt want too add LOADS of tahini, but it tasted great! I’m gonna put some sultanas and desicated coconut in it tommorow and smash it together abd eat it for breakfast 😛
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Haha that really sounds awesome! I love getting inspired by other recipes and then completely disregarding all the directions and doing my own thing… that’s how some of the best concoctions are made! Yours sounds really fun :).
Jess says
OH also i used carob instead of cocoa. I find carob has a sweeter flavour..but anyways 🙂 haha come to think of it i really changed your recipe..but i was very inspired by it!
SheilaBmarie says
These are so much better than regular rice crispy treats!!! I just made some, they’re not even ready yet, but i keep opening the freezer sneaking samples out! Patience? I have none.
I used Rice Chex (crushed), liquid sweetener, Hersheys Special Dark cocoa powder, half melted banana/half crunchy peanut butter.
My 30 minutes isnt up yet, but I would definitely say that the end result is a workable combination, If I eat the whole batch before-hand, I would say freezing is not a necessary step 😀
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL I do the same thing! I even once left a knife in the freezer, right in the pan, so I could more-easily break off tastes as I walked by! 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
oh my goodness – gel pens!!! We would “collect” those in middle school and they never went away! My mother got so mad when she saw my bookstore bill at school!
Rebecca says
I love and still do love crayons. At work, some of us girls will start to color when we’re not really busy. And in college during exams, my roommate and I went out and bought new crayons and books and watched movies to relax.
I’ve had a craving for rice crispy treats too-thanks!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
I LOVE rice krispy treats and make them in all flavors and ways…butterscotch, choc chip cookie dough stuffed, topped with peanut butter chocolate, you name it, I love them! I am a huge fan and yours are calling my name. YUMMY!
Crayons, markers, art projects…that was the stuff of my childhood. Getting a new box of Crayola 64’s was the highlight of my back-to-school experience and markers, too. And new folders and notebooks. Loved it all! And now Skylar does. Fun re-living it with her 🙂
Lindsay @ biking before bed says
I was also a victim of the marker colored nose:) I think my favorite Crayola color was dazzle dazzle rose. If you are ever in the Philadelphia area I would highly recommend the Crayola museum. It’s like a crayon fantasy land. And the gift shop is amazing.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Crayola museum?!?!? How did I not know about this???
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Oh girl, I am an elementary school teacher; I STILL love crayons! 🙂
Mmmmm! You knew all of us would want to help you out! Especially with items like that!
Tara says
I love crayons and rice krispies – both childhood favorites! i always loved buying the really big packs of crayola crayons in all kinds of crazy colors. My favorite was periwinkle!
Alyssa says
I’m 42 and still love crayons! Thankfully I have kids, so I can justify my crayon habit.
When I teach at a college, I have the students use the nice-smelling markers. It makes them SO happy! Which makes me happy.
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef says
mmm so good! i always fail at making rice krispie treats but maybe i can make these!
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
I STILL love coloring! Its so relaxing and fun! I guess I’ll just never grow up LOL!
Robin says
These look super delicious. When I was little I loved to eat ricecrispies, especially the marshmallow flavour, and i loved crayons too. I used to have a huge collections, and could spent hours doodling with them.
BroccoliHut says
Delicious! My mom used to by the chocolate rice krispy treats in bulk–my sisters and my dad LOVEd them!
Kathy says
The crispy treats look yummy and delish!
I love crayons, but colored pencils are a heart-taker for me. I just think they’re more neat, and the colors aren’t as dark but then again, I was never really good at coloring with crayons!
Ooh, and I saw your Pinterest account. You actually repinned one of my posts ^^
http://milk-and-tea.blogspot.com
Marianne says
I’m all about the pencil crayons – they are like, the ultimate for colouring, shading, drawing, etc. So much more versatile than crayons and markers. I loved that we got to use them so much in art class 🙂
CookiePie says
Chocolate crayons right here! http://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Crayon-Box-24-Count/dp/B003EMO7J6
Not vegan though. Anyway — love this post! I love the idea of rice krispie treats, but they’re just too unhealthy for my little one… until now! Thanks so much for sharing.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Haha too cool! I wonder if they make crayon-shaped molds… then I could make my own chocolate crayons!
Jessica @ Jess Go Bananas says
I love crayons!!! I remember there was also a “tickle-me-pink” and a “salmon” lol 🙂
Carissa says
I loved crayons. I had the 96 box and I’d get mad if people didn’t put them back in the slot they were in. My mom used to peel back the paper to sharpen them and I hated that, too! I guess I was a picky child… And those gel pens! There were so many cool colors! After awhile they would start to skip when I wrote with them, probably cause they were old, and then I gave up and went back to ballpoint.
LizAshlee says
I love rice crispy treats…I don’t know if I prefer chocolate or original more…which is odd, I would think I would have gone with chocolate. 🙂
I still love to color!! 🙂
Happy Monday!
Kate (Bread & Chocolate) says
Ok, the temptation of your beautiful photos is killing me! We need a CCK shop, so I can order a batch of rice krispy treats and all your other chocolate creations!
Kaitlyn@TheTieDyeFIles says
The crayons were such a cute addition to the shoot! I used to love crayons (only Crayola, of course) until I discovered colored pencils. They were so much neater and more professional-looking for the 7 year old artist in me!
Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola says
Ohh chocolate covered rice krispies sound incredible! Sometimes I get an intense rice krispy craving so this will be perfect! And I used to love getting a new box of crayons when the school year started- I remember being so excited to get the 64 crayon box or the 101 crayon box (with the built in sharpener) haha oh man, so many memories!
Katharina says
So I just made these and I had to make more of the nut butter mix because that alone was so delicious! They are sitting in the freezer now and I can’t wait to try them 😀 I’m using puffed cereal since that’s what I have on hand, and I’m glad that I finally found a great use for them.
XOXO!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Ooh I’m interested to know how they taste with puffed cereal! I might have to try it, too!
Jessica says
Hi Katie,
I made these last night for a coworkers birthday. I usually get scared when I make healthy treats for people who might not necessarily appreciate them, so I added a tablespoon of coconut oil in hopes to make them a little “naughtier” (figured because “normal” rice crispy treats call for butter, this would work).
I would like to report that they are awesome. Better than real rice crispy treats. 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Awww I am so so excited you liked them! And good call on the coconut oil. Coconut oil makes everything taste better!!
Kathleen @ KatsHealthCorner says
I am in love with your recipes! 😀
Kerry says
I just made these, and they are delicious! I followed your recipe exactly, and they came out perfect – SO much better than a regular rice crispy treat! Next time I think I’ll try using your banana butter in these. I love the peanut butter – banana – chocolate flavor combination. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thank YOU for making them! 🙂 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thank YOU for making them!! 🙂 🙂
Sondra says
I loved crayons when I was a kid, but what I really loved was those double-sided scented markers with the pointy end on one side and the stamp on the other. I used to have a package of like 50 different colors and scents… I kid you not they had at least 3 different chocolate scents- tootsies (a kind of caramel color) peppermint bon bon (smelled like mint chocolate chip ice cream, bright green) and VELVET FUDGE (which is a really fancy name for a kids marker don’t you think?) I used to “draw” a bakery and make my little sister pay me to buy my goods- which of course meant I’d draw her a cookie, she’d give me a quarter..
sally @ sally's baking addiction says
Katie, these look AWESOME! so glad you pinned these or else i would’ve missed them 🙂
Megan says
Made these yesterday! They are so good. I’m having a hard time keeping my hands off of ’em! I was out of Rice Crispies, so I improvised with Cherrios a bit crushed up. Not as good I’m sure, but still delish. Actually, I could have eaten the filling alone! And I’m wondering how it would taste doubled and eaten like fudge? Hmmmmm….
n says
Hey, these look good! what size pan is best for this recipe? how many does this recipe make? Im wondering if I need to double it to take it over to a friends house for dessert 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
If I remember correctly, it makes an 8×8 pan… but I haven’t made them in awhile and am not 100% sure about that. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful! 😕
Heather says
It fits in an 8×8 as is, I double it for our large family & it fits into a 9×13 that way.
Lisa says
These are awesome! Thankfully I only made a 1/2 recipe as it will all be gone soooo soon!
lily says
i don’t know if anyone has suggested it, but i just made a batch of these with lots of shredded
coconut added, and they were absolutely delicous!
Anonymous says
Mine turned out soggy. Did i do something wrong?
Kelle says
Your recipes normally state the nutritional value.. am I missing something or does this one not include that?
Mary says
I made these using PB2 peanut butter. I substituted oatmeal in place of the rice crispies. Absolutely delicious and super easy to make.
Rojoco says
I just made these and they are amazing! Thank you!
MegP says
It might be hard to get through University as a vegan but not when you have these!! I just re-pinned this recipe on Pinterest but I’ve probably made these more times then I can remember in the past three years, they also frequently arrive as carepackages from my mom in the mail since we both can’t get enough!!
Allie says
My pb/choc/agave mixture seized up in the microwave, and I didn’t even heat for very long. So the mixture wouldn’t pour over the krispies….it was super clumpy and now the bars need to be eaten with a spoon because they are so crumby! Did I do somehting wrong? (The taste was super yummy though!)
Hungry Heather says
Deeelish! I made this with sugar-free organic rice puffs and natural creamy PB. They haven’t gotten to the squishing step. Lol! They go great with Almond Breeze almond/coconut milk.
Anonymous says
These were delicious! I subed carob for cocoa.
Peasr Notfood says
I barely remember yesterday, but I do remember chocolate scented Crayola Crayons. Just for you, I did a search and found a site that even has a picture of the scented crayons, showing chocolate is among them. I sniffed mine until there was no chocolatge smell left 🙂

Bird says
This recipe is amazing, I’m in love, it’s going to be the most perfect warm weather treat. I have made it twice and perfection. I found that adding chocolate chips in with the cereal and then pouring the stuff over it all gives you little extra bites of chocolate that are divine. Thank you for this Katie!
Lisa says
I just wanted to let you know that I made this this evening with seven-grain puff cereal and the whole family loves them. You have a great blog — I look forward to trying more recipes! Thanks!

Cocolɑte Rice Crispy Treats
Lori Hoch Stiefel says
Holy moly! This recipe just sent me to chocolate heaven and I am NEVER coming back! Followed the recipe exactly except I didn’t use peanut butter. I had made a batch of crazy nut butter (4 cups altogether of almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews, lightly toasted and blended in the vitamix) earlier in the day and I used that instead. I really don’t want to share it with my kids, or the guests I am having over for dinner. That’s okay, right?
Michelle says
What size pan do you recommend? 8×8?
