Instructions

Line an 8×8″ baking pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cereal, protein powder, hemp seeds, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine SunButter, maple syrup/honey, coconut oil, and vanilla. Melt 30 seconds in the microwave, then stir until smooth.
Add to the cereal mixture, and mix to evenly coat. Fold in the white chocolate chips and freeze dried raspberries.
Press firmly into the prepared pan. Top with melted white chocolate/crushed raspberries if desired.
Refrigerate overnight (8 hours).
Cut into 16 squares.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container, they will keep 1-2 weeks.

Notes

*You can either next the chips into the rice crispy treats OR melt and spread on top. I showed both in the video/photos, if you want to do both you will need to double the amount of white chocolate chips (1 cup total) and 1.5 times the freeze dried raspberries (1 1/2 cups total)
