Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 scoops Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Gradually add the vanilla protein powder, stirring well to incorporate it smoothly into the marshmallow mix.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the saucepan and gently fold it into the marshmallow mixture until well coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula greased with non-stick cooking spray to spread and press it evenly into the dish.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes until firm.
Once set, cut the treats into 12 equal squares using a sharp knife.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
