An all-time classic, Scotcheroos, have been made into a healthy treat by Fitness Informant. We took the liberty to combine two very well-known, reputable brands to create the ultimate peanut butter and chocolate protein packed dessert.
Traditional Scotcheroos contain unhealthy fats. However, the fats within our version of these Protein Packed Scotcheroos are from rich nut butter from Hank's Protein Plus. Hank's is a small business that does small-batch work of some of the best tasting nut butters on the planet.
We elected to go with Hank's for this recipe because they make just a wonderful Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Spread [use code INFORMANT to save 10%]. that compliments the Protein Packed Scotcheroo perfectly. Trust us, you will be VERY happy with your purchase of Hank's!
We combined 1/2 cup of delicious nut butter from Hank's with three full scoops of Classic Whey from NutraBio. NutraBio is one of our top rated companies when it comes to protein powders. They use only the best quality (in this case a WPC80 meaning the highest quality of whey protein concentrate). The Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss Classic Whey [code INFORMANT saves 10%] was the only option for these Protein Packed Scotcheroos!
While the additional 1/4 cup of nut butter may not be needed for the "frosting" we added it because we LOVE peanut butter (who doesn't?!) If you want this to be less "sticky" then you can elect to not use the additional 1/4 cup in the frosting.
To avoid too much moisture in this recipe, you can get a puffier rice crisp/puff versus the Rice Krispies we elected to use. However, these do basically melt in your mouth.
This macro-friendly version of Scotcheroos are the perfect party-pleaser, or just the perfect treat to promote your gains. High quality protein, with quality fats and fast acting carbs also makes this a great pre or post workout treat to fuel and recovery. Ready to bake? Let's GOOOOO!
