Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (75g) crispy rice cereal
- 3/4 cup (60g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/3 cup (50g) hemp seeds
- Pinch of salt (if your SunButter variety is not salted)
- 1 cup (256g) Natural Crunch SunButter
- 1/2 cup (160g) maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4oz (120g) dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cereal, protein powder, hemp seeds, and salt.
- In a measuring cup or microwave safe bowl, combine SunButter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Microwave 60-90 seconds to fully melt the coconut oil. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add to the cereal mixture, and mix until evenly coated and sticky.
- Press into an 8×8″ pan lined with parchment paper (I like to cover the top with wax paper and use another pan or the bottom of a measuring cup to really press it in firmly and smooth).
- Melt the dark chocolate, and drizzle overtop. Tilt the pan to evenly coat with a thin layer of chocolate.
- Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- Slice into 16 squares.
