Protein Rice Krispie Treats
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups Rice Krispies or any crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x9” pan with parchment paper or a light coating of butter or oil.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low-medium heat.
- Add marshmallows to the pan and stir regularly with a silicone or wooden spoon. When marshmallows are about halfway melted, add vanilla extract. Continue stirring regularly until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth and butter, marshmallows and vanilla are completely combined. Remove from heat.
- Stir in crispy rice cereal and protein powder until completely combined. If you can see any dry protein powder, keep mixing!
- Press mixture very gently into the prepared pan. Be careful not to press down too hard or your squares will be too dense.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave white chocolate in 15-30 second increments until melted and smooth. Drizzle over the top of the rice krispie treats and then top with sprinkles.
- Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing into 9 even squares.
