Scotcheroos? Chocolate peanut butter rice krispie bars? No matter what you call them, this version is so nostalgic in the best way, but much healthier made with honey and packed with extra peanut butter. That, plus hemp seeds, brings our protein count to a whopping 10 grams per bar! Now that's a dessert a nutrition coach can get behind (that's me - I'm the coach).

In a large saucepan, melt the 3 tbsp butter and 1/3 cup honey on low heat until they're fully melted and combined, about 3-4 minutes.
Next, stir in 1 cup peanut butter with the melted honey until fully combined and without chunks.
Next, gently stir in the 3 cups rice krispies and 1/4 cup hemp hearts into the peanut butter mixture. Then, press into a 8x8 inch glass dish (or similar size, we used 7x9 inch).
Melt the 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips and 1/3 cup peanut butter together. This can be done in a saucepan on low heat. Otherwise, you can melt it in the microwave by cooking in 20 second increments and stirring in between rounds until the chocolate is melted.
Spread the chocolate peanut butter mixture on top of the rice krispies and put in the freezer to cool for at least 20 minutes. Then, enjoy!
