Growing up I used to love rice crispy bars, so I decided to make a variation of the shop bought rice crispy bar and add some protein to it to make them a little more feeling.
These chocolate rice crispy bars are very easy to make. They don’t require any cooking and have only 6 ingredients, most of which are just different chocolates. It is definitely an easy to please snack!
Seasonality Information
This recipe does not really have a seasonality in terms of the ingredients as there are no fresh ingredients used. Although there are no fresh ingredients and therefore you can make this recipe any time you like. I prefer it in autumn, winter and spring only because I don’t enjoy chocolate as much in the summer, but this is a personal preference.
Chocolate Rice Crispy Bars Ingredient Swap Options
These chocolate rice crispy bars are made with caramel chocolate protein powder but you can use normal chocolate protein powder. I used caramel because I had a sample at home and I thought it would go well in a treat like this. The top of the cereal bars is with white chocolate but if you much prefer dark chocolate or milk one you can use that instead.
Dietary Variations
If you want to make these cereal bars vegan, you can easily do so! Make sure you buy vegan chocolate and your protein powder is vegan and you are good to go. To make this recipe gluten free, you can also buy in the supermarket a gluten free cereal.
Nutrition Information
This recipe is high in sugar, therefore I would recommend making this snack on occasion, or to share so that you don’t end up eating them everyday!
