Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or your preferred flavor)
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the protein powder, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted mixture and gently fold until all the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula or lightly greased hands to press it evenly into the pan.
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until fully set.
Cut into 12 even squares and serve.
Store any remaining treats in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
