Macros: Carbs- 39g, Protein- 3g, Fat- 10g

Ingredients:

•1.5 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal

•0.75 Cups old fashioned oats

•0.75 Cups quick oats

(You can use 1.5 cups of one kind of oats rather than both if you prefer)

•0.75 Cups Peanut Butter

•0.5 Cups Honey

•0.5 Cups Light Brown Sugar

•1 bag of butterscotch chips (could swap this for your preferred melted chocolate)

•Optional: sprinkles

Instructions:

•Mix the peanut butter, honey, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl

•Gently mix in the Rice Krispies and oats until well incorporated

•Spread into a 9x13 casserole dish lined with parchment paper

•Melt the chips you are using (I do this in 15 second increments in the microwave). Spread evenly across the bars

•Optional: Sprinkle with sprinkles before the chips have hardened

•Let set for ~30 min.

I adapted this recipe a little from a recipe shared by an influencer on IG. My next adaptation is going to be to add some protein powder into the mix to add more protein content.

As is this would be a perfect preworkout snack or a cheap dessert to take to a get together! This would also be a great recipe for college students as it doesn’t require an oven, stove, or fridge for storage.
