TIME NEEDED: 15 minutes 

INGREDIENTS 

• 4 Smartbite Unsalted Rice Cakes + Quinoa crackers (crumbled)
• 1 TBSP vegan butter (we recommend Earth Balance's Vegan Buttery Sticks)

PROCEDURE 

1. Melt your vegan butter in a sauce pan. Add crumbled rice quinoa crackers and toast from both sides. Set aside and dust gently with cinnamon. 

2. Melt vegan white chocolate in a double boiler. 

3. Line your baking tray (we recommend using a loaf pan) with a parchment paper. Place toasted rice crackers on the paper. Make sure all pieces are close together. Pour white chocolate over rice cakes. 

4. It's fun time! Gather your cranberries, pistachios and coconut pieces and top white chocolate bark with each ingredient. 

5. The bark is ready to be popped in the fridge to solidify. Once it does, break it into smaller pieces. DONE!
