About
Thanks to Keto brands coming out with low carb cereals, treats like these are possible for us Keto folk! Crispy “rice” cereal is combined with sugar-free white chocolate chips, vanilla syrup, browned butter, and plenty of sea salt. The result? A “rice krispy”-like treat without all the carbs and guilt! The browned butter and sea salt take this dessert over the top! Secretly, these make a great pre-workout snack because of the protein and fat that is in them. This would be a great Keto Christmas dessert or treat.
Why do I need to use a particular cereal for this?
You will need to buy a particular Keto cereal for this recipe because the cereal is made out of whey protein isolate and therefore is low carb and Keto friendly.
What does the white chocolate and syrup do?
The white chocolate and vanilla syrup help to bind the cereal together once chilled and cut.
