Healthier Butterfingers (high protein)
Halloween is this week and what's the most fun part of Halloween? The candy of course! Here's something fun to satisfy your sweet tooth with a little boost of extra protein to keep you satiated and feed those hungry muscles!
Ingredients:
2 cups rice or corn cereal (I used rice crispies which work very well but you can sub this out with corn flakes, chex, etc just be sure to crunch them up a bit to be smaller)
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons natural Peanut Butter
¼ cup powdered peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine honey and peanut butter
add protein powder, peanut butter powder and ¼ cup of water, mix until well combined
add cereal and stir until a mold able but soft dough consistency is formed (you may need to add more water 1 tablespoon or so at a time depending on what kind of protein powder you use)
line a baking sheet with wax paper
scoop 1 tablespoon of butterfinger mixture and form into a small bock, place on the lined sheet
repeat this process with the rest of your “dough”
place sheet in freezer to stiffen up for 15 minutes
melt chocolate
dip each “butterfinger” in chocolate (I like to use two forks and allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the butterfinger back onto the baking tray)
return sheet to freezer until chocolate is set
