Caramel Chocolate Protein Rice Krispie Treats
A protein-packed, no-bake treat with chocolate, peanut butter caramel swirls, and a touch of sea salt.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- 8x8 Pan
Ingredients
- 7 caramel rice cakes 100g
- 1 scoop protein powder about 2 tbsp, chocolate flavor
- 1 cup chocolate chips about 6 oz
- 4 tbsp peanut butter divided in half
- Flaked sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Put rice cakes in a large Ziploc bag and use a heavy spoon or mallet to break them into small pieces.
- Put crushed rice cakes in a bowl and add protein powder, then mix to combine.
- Add chocolate chips and 2 tbsp peanut butter to a microwave-safe dish, and then microwave in 30 second intervals until completely melted and smooth. Mix together and then pour into your rice cake mixture. Mix well to coat the rice cakes.
- Microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter for 30 seconds until runny, and then mix that into your mixture, not over mixing so you'll get some ribbons of peanut butter flavor throughout.
- Pour mixture into a parchment lined 8 x 8 pan, and press down firmly to form your treats. If desired, drizzle some additional melted chocolate over the top and finish with a hefty pinch of flaked sea salt.
- Let sit in the fridge for an hour and then cut into 12 bars and enjoy!
