Instructions

Step 1

Line a pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the peanut butter and maple syrup and mix well to combine. Add the cereal and protein powder and mix well with a spatula until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan, pressing down to create an even layer.

Step 4

Add water to a double boiler or fill a small pot halfway with water and place a heat-safe bowl on top. Bring the water to a boil and add the chocolate chips to the bowl. Melt the chocolate, stirring often. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate chips in the microwave on 30-second intervals.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal, spreading it out to create an even layer. Transfer to the fridge until the chocolate has completely set, about 45 minutes, or overnight.

Step 6

Remove the cereal bars and slice into rectangular pieces. Enjoy!
