1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, combine puffed rice, shredded coconut, chia or flaxseeds, and sea salt.
3. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm Wowbutter and maple syrup, stirring until smooth and runny, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla if using.
4. Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients and stir quickly until evenly coated.
5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly and evenly using a spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup.
6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or freeze for 20–30 minutes, until firm.
