Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil (melted/liquid), vanilla, pink himalayan salt (and protein powder if used) until well combined and creamy.

In a larger bowl, mix the peanut butter mixture into the rice crispies and stir until well combined, using your hands if necessary.
