Servings: 9 rice krispies
Calories: 210kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10.5 ounces box choc zero s’mallows mini marshmellows
- 3 tablespoons fair life milk or water
- 1/2 teaspoon ube extract
- ¼ teaspoon plain salt
- 3 scoops taro boba protein powder
- 4 ½ cups rice Krispies
- Course or flakey salt optional
Instructions
- Lightly oil a 8x8 baking dish to prevent the rice krispies from sticking. Set aside.
- Heat the large pot on medium heat, add butter and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the butter has browned with a nutty aroma.
- Decrease the heat to low, toss in the mini marshmallows. Cook for about 5-10 minutes or until most of the marshmallows have melted with a few lumps still visible.
- Turn off the heat, quickly pour in milk, ube extract, and salt until they’re incorporated into the marshmallows. Then, quickly mix in protein powder until well combined.
- Pour in rice krispies and stir until the rice krispies are evenly coated with the marshmallows.
- Pour into the baking dish. Wet your hands with water then gently spread rice krispies into an even layer. I love soft gooey rice krispies, so I do NOT press them down because they become hard.
- Plop rice krispies out of the baking dish, sprinkle with coarse salt if you like sweet and salty combos (optional but highly recommend)! Cut into equal pieces & enjoy at least one immediately while still warm and gooey!

Notes
-
- Marshmallows: Used sugar-free mini marshmallows for low calories but regular mini marshmallows too! Mini marshmallows melt more evenly compared to regular or jumbo marshmallows.
- Protein Powder: Taro Milk Tea Protein Powder to give protein rice crispy treats its flavor! You could also swap it for any of your fave protein powders if you want to swap flavors! Just make sure you like the protein powder you use, otherwise, you won’t like these rice krispies!
- Fairlife Milk: For extra protein, add a splash of Fairlife milk! This is also a secret to keep your rice krisies treats soft and chewy!
