    Ingredients

    Use a clear shot of the ingredients for this recipe, prepped, and labeled if necessary. Insert the ingredients into the list below, omitting quantities.

    • ingredient 1
    • ingredient 2
    • ingredient 3

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Substitutions

    If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don't fake it - only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

    • Lettuce - instead of ice berg lettuce, you can use romaine lettuce or spinach
    • Bun - use gluten free buns instead of white bread buns to make this gluten free
    • Vegetarian - the beef hamburger can be replaced with a plant-based burger to make this vegetarian

    Even if your reader doesn't follow a specific diet (eg. gluten free), they may have friends or family that they're cooking for that could use this. This is also a great idea to link out to another blogger with a similar recipe that fits a different diet.

    Storage

    Store the wet ingredients (lettuce, tomato, onion) separately from the dry ingredients (buns) in the fridge, and recombine when ready. Good for 2-3 days.

    These ingredients do/don't stand up well to freezing for X days/weeks/months.

    Servings 9 bars

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 ¼ cup smooth peanut butter make sure it is a natural kind so that it is very runny
    • ½ cup protein powder of choice I recommend using a salted caramel or vanilla flavor
    • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
    • 1 ¼ cup gluten free puffed rice cereal

    For the chocolate topping:

    • ⅓ cup nondairy chocolate chips
    • ½ tsp coconut oil

    Instructions
     

    • Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey, and protein powder. Fold in the puffed rice.
    • Press the mixture into the pan and let it sit in the fridge while you melt together the chocolate and coconut oil.
    • Cut the butterfingers into 9-12 squares, depending on how large you want them, and spread some of the chocolate mixture onto the top of each. Let harden and enjoy!
