Making the most of rice crispy bars

Here's how I make gluten free chocolate peanut butter rice crispy bars that have been known to disappear at a party in under 15 minutes with absolutely no complaints or even recognition for the healthier approach they've taken...

In a large bowl combine gluten free cocoa rice crispy cereal, a cup of mini chocolate chips, and two scoops of gluten free whey protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavored).

Grease a 9x12 pan with butter.

In a sauce pan, melt a stick of butter, two large spoonfuls of peanut butter, and a bag of miniature marshmellows. Keep an eye on it and stir often as it can burn to the bottom of the pan quite easily.

When the marshmellows are completely melted, pour it over the cereal and stir well, and quickly, until all of the cereal is coated and the protein powder as been completely absorbed. Pour into the greased pan and spread evenly.

I put a piece of wax paper over it and push the mixture firmly into the pan to get it even.

Allow to cool thoroughly.
