Diet Types:

In a large bowl, melt butter in microwave for 1 minute.
Add marshmallow crème and microwave for 30 seconds; stir. Microwave 30 seconds more and stir until well blended.
Quickly add protein powder and mix until smooth.
Quickly add pre-measured rice crispy cereal and mix until coated.
Pour into a greased 13” x 9” pan and press down evenly.
Cool, and then cut into 12 bars, 3” x 4” each.

After protein powder is added mix quickly and add rice crispy cereal in as soon as possible because the protein powder will start to harden as it cools.

These treats are great for a snack, dessert, or breakfast on the go!
Marshmallow crème is also known as marshmallow fluff. You can substitute 40 large marshmallows for 2 cups of marshmallow crème.
Compared to the other High Protein Rice Treats recipe on DaVita.com, this version has less protein powder so it is less dense. Both are very tasty!
