1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/2 cup shortening (Spectrum)
1 tbsp. tapioca flour
1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum
1/2 cup sunflower butter (Sunbutter)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 boxes (approx 6 1/2 cups) Nutty Rice or Nutty Flax
1/4 to 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

Combine first five ingredients in a large pan, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook one more minute stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add sunflower butter and vanilla. Beat with a spoon until blended. Add chocolate chips and Nutty Rice quickly, and stir until coated (chocolate chips will melt).

Lightly grease two 11x7x1-inch jelly roll pans. Firmly press the mixture into the pans and cool. Cut shapes with Halloween cookie cutters and remove carefully. Decorate as desired for a deliciously, fun Halloween treat!

NOTE: Use cutters with simple shapes and if they do crumble upon removal, just press them back into shape.
