Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup French Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 10 T butter
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 Cup raw Honey
  • 6 T Heavy Cream (divided into 2T, 4 T)
  • 5 cups Organic Crispy Rice - I used One Degree organic foods brand 
  • ¾ cup Organic dark chocolate chips


Directions

  1. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. 
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter and honey until it is warmed through and the texture is runny. Remove from the heat, add the French Vanilla Protein Powder, 2 T heavy whipping cream and mix with a whisk until creamy, with no clumps remaining. Add the crispy rice. Stir well with a wooden spoon,  making sure all is coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared 9x13 pan and press down firmly. Set aside and make the frosting
  3. In a medium sauce pan, heat the butter over medium-low heat. Stir the butter as it melts and sizzles. Allow the butter to brown. Watch for golden-brown specs to appear on the bottom of the pan. Once it is browned, remove from the heat.  Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted. Add the remaining 4 T Heavy cream and the chocolate protein powder. Stir well with a whisk to remove any lumps. Pour the frosting over the rice krispies and cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.  
  4. Cut into 28 even squares.
