Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Press the mixture into the pan and let it sit in the fridge while you melt together the chocolate and coconut oil.
  3. 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!
