These guys are delicious. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Healthier than traditional rice krispie squares (made of 100g of chocolate and 75g rice krispies plus/ minus butter, codensed milk etc…) as they contain more protein and healthier fats. However, are they as healthy as an apple, no 🙂
What I like about them is that they are so quick and easy to make, last the week, contain just 4 ingredients and the clean up is minimal. Plus, they taste really really good, and are a fab way to use up leftover chocolate from Halloween, Christmas or birthday parties.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice krispies (~60g)
- 1 cup of chocolate whey (~80g)
- 1/2 cup honey (~85g)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (~140g)
- optional: chocolate for the top!
How to make them
- Mix 2 cups of rice krispies with 1 cup of chocolate whey in one bowl.Â
- Then microwave 1/2 cup of peanut butter with 1/2 cup honey (if your peanut butter is dry, try a little more honey E.g. 100-110g. If using maple syrup for a low FODMAP option, use less than 85g as it can become too moist).Â
- Mix wet with the dry so it’s nice and covered. If it’s still looking powdery, keep mixing!
- Squish the mixture into a lined dish and leave in the fridge to set. Use the back of a spoon or your hand.
- I allowed the mixture to set before melting chocolate (1 cup) and smearing on top. Then I left it in the fridge again to completely set.Â
- Cut into slices or squares when set.Â
