Notes
- Make sure to use a nonstick saucepan or pot to prevent sticking and burning.
- Use creamy peanut butter so that it's easier to slice.
- I highly recommend using raw honey because it tastes the best.
- Protein powder is optional and can be omitted.
- Chex cereal is a good substitute for Rice Krispies cereal.
- Make sure your pan is lined with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent the bars from sticking to the pan. It also makes clean up easier.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
