In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Stir continuously until fully melted and smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Pour the melted mixture into a large mixing bowl with the brown rice cereal. Gently fold everything together using a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated. If adding chocolate chips, sprinkle them in now and lightly mix.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a piece of parchment paper or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly.
Once firm, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 12 equal squares.
