I don’t know about you, but rice krispy treats bring me straight back to childhood! I re-created these treats to be a balanced snack by making a few subtle changes; such as using gluten free (which is also made with brown rice) rice krispies, and honey instead of marshmallows. By adding protein powder, these become a well-rounded snack that is perfect to make with kids, or as a pre or post-workout treat!
These rice krispy treats have a great balance of complex carbs (brown rice cereal), healthy fats (peanut butter), and protein (protein powder). Therefore, they make a great pre or post workout snack!

These are SO delicious! I made them with chocolate protein powder, and they are the best rice crispy treats!

These were soooo good! I’m making them for a church picnic. I go to a potluck/picnic and never know if anything is healthy, so im starting the healthy- potluck trend :) A card will be placed with the wwp+ info in front of the dish, so everyone will know, along with your website address :)e Ps: I topped it with vegan chocolate and it was still delish :)

This looks delicious. Can I use regular Rice Krispies instead of Gluten Free ones?

They were a hit with my family and I’ll be making them again! You can’t even tell they’re “healthy” :) I used half honey and half maple syrup and used chocolate protein powder.

I know you don’t promote one brand over another, but what kind of peanut butter do you use with these recipes? I have peanut butter powder that I just ordered, but am not sure what is the most healthy peanut butter to buy.
Dashing Dish said:
Any natural kind :)

These are by far my favorite Dashing Dish recipe! I’ve been making them for months…usually for snacks for my husband and I, but sometimes for family functions, and they never last long! I make them with the melted chocolate on top, and in a 13×9 inch pan so the recipe goes further. Delicious — I think they’re even better than traditional krispie treats!

My husband is going to love these as a birthday surprise treat! His favorite from childhood that neither one of us has had in decades because of eating healthy and staying away from marshmallows and other refined sugars. I found some organic brown rice no salt added crispy rice cereal that will be perfectly guilt-free :). And of course high quality 70% cacao organic dark chocolate and organic no salt added peanut butter and raw organic honey and vanilla pea protein powder. The only question I have is can I use parchment paper to line the baking dish instead of oiling it? Do they still come out as nice? I guess I will find out soon! Thank you soooo much for this recipe !

How do you think these will turn out if I make my own peanut butter with peanut flour and almond milk? Do you have any suggestions for making peanut flour into peanut butter?
Dashing Dish said:
just use enough milk or water to mix with pf to get a pb consistency :) it should work in place of the pb
Michelle said:
Just finished making these, the only subistutions that I used was the PB2, organic brown rice cocoa krispies. If they taste as good as they did from the bowl, I can’t wait!

The verdict is in…..two thumbs up from my daughter who is pretty picky. She even said I know what I am having for breakfast in the morning!
