2 1/2 cups Catalina Crunch Chocolate Cereal, you can also sub another high protein cereal or regular cereal for less protein

Recipe instructions:

Line a loaf pan or small 6 x 6 inch pan with parchment paper.
Add the chocolate to a large sauce pot and melt on low heat, stirring constantly.
Once chocolate is melted you can remove it from heat and add the peanut butter. Stir the peanut butter through the melted chocolate until they're fully blended.
Add in protein powder and gently fold through until fully combined.
Add in cereal and fold through until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Using the back of a spoon gently press the the bar down and flat across the top. Add a sprinkle of coarse sea salt across the top to finish.
Set in the fridge to firm, 1-2 hrs.
Once firm, remove from the fridge and set on the counter to reach room temperature before slicing into bars.
Keep bars in a sealed container on the counter or in the fridge.

Enjoy!
