Preparation
1. First, grease a 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in) square pan.
2. Melt peanut butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add protein powder and vanilla extract and mix well.
3. Add marshmallows to mixture. Melt and remove from heat.
4. Add Rice Krispies cereal. Mix gently to coat each piece of cereal.

HUBERT'S TIP 👉 The ultimate trick for preventing rock-hard treats!
Let the marshmallows melt over low heat! Yes, you’ll have to be patient, but it will be worth the wait. Also, when the squares are ready, it’s important to store them in an airtight container. However, after a few days, the treats will inevitably harden. In this case, if they haven't already been eaten, you can simply warm them up in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds to soften them.
