For the Rice Krispy Cups
- 3 cups brown rice cereal
- 3/4 cup organic peanut butter
- 1/4 cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 3/4 cup honey
For the Glaze
- 10 cocoa butter chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton)
- 3 tablespoons coconut butter
Instructions
- Add brown rice cereal to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, place peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 40 seconds (in 10-second intervals each time to avoid ingredients from burning), until mixture is soft and smooth. Add in protein powder and mix until smooth.
- Pour peanut butter mixture into the brown rice cereal and use hands to combine well.
- Transfer mixture into a muffin tray, filling up eight of the twelve muffin spots to the top, pressing each firmly to shape them properly.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Before serving prepare glaze. Add cacao butter chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 45 seconds (in 15-second intervals each time to avoid cacao from burning), until cacao butter chips have melted. Once melted, add in coconut butter and coconut milk, and mix until smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle glaze over Rice Krispy Cups. Add sprinkles on top and enjoy.
