Bet you've been wondering where the hell the delicious recipes have been?!?!

We are here to make peace and entice your goodwill with a little throwback classic--Rice Krispy Treats.

Seeing as how this is the Active Indulgence blog, we had to do this recipe the Active Indulgence way: PEANUT BUTTA JELLY TIME!

This super-simple, yet oh so delicious, Rice Krispy treat recipe is one to save for a rainy day. With large servings and only 150 calories (7.4g protein) per slice, this is a keeper.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Rice Krispy cereal

• 1 1/4 scoops vanilla whey protein powder (we used Myprotein vanilla)

• 1/4 cup creamy, all-natural peanut butter

• 3 tbsp honey-flavored syrup (can be purchased at kroger next to the regular honey)

• 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup

Strawberry Drizzle:

• vanilla whey protein

• Walden Farms zero-calorie strawberry syrup (can be purchased at Fresh Thyme or online)

Instructions:

1. ​In a small bowl combine peanut butter, honey-flavored syrup, and maple syrup. Microwave for 20 seconds. Remove and mix together.

2. In a large bowl stir together cereal and protein powder.

3. Add peanut butter mixture to the cereal and mix until a sticky dough forms.

4. Pour dough into a parchment-lined square pan, and press down to the bottom of the pan.

5. Allow to sit for 1-2 hours before adding the drizzle.

6. While Rice Krispy Treats sit, pour Walden Farms strawberry syrup into a small bowl. Add vanilla whey protein in small amounts until the glaze reaches desired thickness.
