These healthier, no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispie Bars are made with just 7 pantry staple ingredients, pack a little extra protein and require almost no effort to make!
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-natural peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 heaping tablespoon protein powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil divided (sub neutral vegetable oil)
- Pinch kosher or fine sea salt
- 2 ½ cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Maldon salt to finish
Instructions
- Prepare parchment-lined 8½ x 4½-inch (1.5 litre) loaf pan and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, protein powder, 1 tablespoon coconut oil and a pinch of sea salt and whisk together over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Stir in Rice Krispies then transfer mixture to loaf pan, pressing it down and out into the corners to form a base. Let sit in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to cool and firm up.
- While the base is setting, heat chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in the microwave at 30-second intervals until smooth, whisking in between, about 90 seconds total.
- Remove loaf pan from freezer and spread chocolate evenly across the top. Sprinkle with flaky salt then let set in the fridge for 1 hour until hardened.
- Slice into bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
