- On stove top combine peanut butter, syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla, continuously stirring until combined and smooth.
- Remove from heat
- Add protein in and combine.
- Then add in cereal flakes
- Spread into loaf pan or silicone bar mold
- Freeze roughly 1 hour to harden
- Remove from the pan and slice
- Dip each into melted dark chocolate, place on parchment paper, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and place in the fridge until chocolate has hardened
- Enjoy!
Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Peanut Butter – can sub for cashew butter or sunbutter
- Medjool date syrup– can sub for honey or pure maple syrup
- Coconut oil – can sub for another neutral oil, such as algae oil or avocado oil
- Protein powder – can be subbed for collagen peptides or left out and decrease the coconut oil to 2 tbsp
If you are a die hard butterfinger fan like me, you’ve got to try my Butterfinger Yogurt Cups, too! A delicious breakfast that satisfies the candy fix, too!
