Ingredients
  • Protein Rice Krispy Treats
  • 5½ cups (145g) Rice Krispie’s cereal
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • 2 scoops Ascent chocolate peanut butter casein protein
  • 1 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond, but any milk is fine)
  • pinch of salt
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Drizzle (optional)
  • 2 tbsp. dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp. natural creamy peanut butter
  • ½ tbsp. coconut oil (may not need it depending how oily peanut butter is)
Instructions
  1. Add mini marshmallows and coconut oil to a large pot. Melt marshmallows slowly over low heat. High heat will burn the marshmallows! Once melted, add peanut butter.
  2. Mix chocolate peanut butter casein protein with milk in a separate bowl.
  3. Add rice krispies cereal to melted marshmallow/peanut butter mixture. Add protein/milk mixture as well. Mix everything together until completely combined.
  4. Press into a 9x5 pan or baking dish (I used a loaf pan). Place in the freezer to set for about 20-30 minutes.
  5. Melt all chocolate peanut butter drizzle ingredients in a small bowl in the microwave. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted. Drizzle chocolate peanut butter mixture over top. Chill again for a few minutes.
  6. Cut into 12 rice krispy bars and enjoy!
