S'mores Bar Recipe
Yields 12 S'mores
Ingredients:
- 1 T coconut oil
- 4 C gluten-free, dairy-free mini marshmallows
- 2 C organic gluten-free chocolate rice cereal
- 1 C gluten-free broken graham crackers
- 1 C gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate chunks
- 1 scoop Vital Proteins® Original Collagen Peptides
Directions:
- In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil until it turns to liquid. Once liquidized, add the marshmallows.
- Stir the marshmallows with a spatula consistently until their shape is no longer formed and they are all well combined. Next, add in the chocolate rice cereal, stirring with a spatula.
- Once the chocolate rice cereal is integrated into the marshmallow batter, add in the graham cracker pieces. (If not already broken, simply crack your favorite graham crackers until bite-sized pieces. This will give you the perfect texture when added to the batter, versus using crumbs).
- After the graham cracker pieces are well combined in the mix, remove the pan from the heat and fold in ½ C of the chocolate chunks.
- Transfer the mixture to a lined square pan and press it down until it is evenly spread out.
- Melt the remaining ½ C of chocolate chunks in a separate bowl and slowly add 1 scoop of the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. For best results, pour the powder in dashes at a time, continuously stirring until all is integrated.
- Layer the chocolate spread on top of the mixture in the pan, ensuring it is evenly covered.
- Place in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to slicing and enjoying!
*S’mores Crisp Treats are best stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place for 1 week.
