Equipment

  • 8-inch by 8-inch square pan
  • Parchment paper
  • large pot
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 ½ cup rice crispy cereal Make sure to use gluten free rice cereal for gluten free rice crispy treats.
  • ½ cup chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch pan with nonstick spray. Cut a long strip of parchment paper slightly less wide than the pan. Place in the bottom of the pan with the sides coming up over the pan. Spray with nonstick spray.
  • In a large pot or dutch oven over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows, stirring until completely incorporated. This may take a minute.
  • Add the chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until incorporated then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Immediately add the rice cereal to the pot. Use a spatula to stir the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Spray the spatula with nonstick spray and use it to press down the mixture evenly inside the pan.
  • Let the marshmallow treats cool for a few hours before removing from the pan and slicing. Enjoy!
