Gooey Cinnamon Toast Crunch Protein Cereal Bars

8 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal

½ cup butter

16 oz marshmallows (1 large bag)

7 oz marshmallow fluff

¼ cup chocolate chips (optional, melted for drizzling – sugar-free works great!)

⅔ cup egg white vanilla protein powder (or 2 scoops whey protein)

Melt Butter & Marshmallows

Melt ½ cup butter in a large non-stick pot over low-medium heat. Add most of the 16 oz marshmallows, stirring continuously until they’re almost melted. Use a silicone spatula to prevent sticking.

Add Remaining Marshmallows & Protein Powder

Turn off the heat. Stir in the remaining marshmallows and the ⅔ cup egg white vanilla protein powder. Continue stirring until fully melted and smooth.

Mix in Cereal

Remove from heat and gently fold in the 8 cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Stir until each piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Layer the Mixture

Press half of the cereal mixture into a greased 8×8 pan. Top with the 7 oz marshmallow fluff, then gently press the remaining cereal mixture over the fluff.

Drizzle with Chocolate

Drizzle the top with melted chocolate chips for a sweet finishing touch.

Chill & Set

Let the bars chill until they set, then slice and enjoy
