Ingredients

For the Rice Krispie Treats

  • 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter melted
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup peanut butter or cashew butter for a milder flavor, room temperature so it's runny
  • 2 tablespoons collagen
  • 2 tablespoons plain full-fat kefir
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal gluten-free if needed

For the Decorations

  • ¼ cup dark chocolate melted
  • ½ cup white chocolate melted
  • Natural green food coloring
  • Soccer ball print-out template

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Crispy Rice Mixture

  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the kefir, collagen, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well.
  • Fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press it into an even layer using a spatula.
  • Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until firm.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Soccer Balls

  • Place a soccer ball print-out on a half-sheet baking pan or tray. Cover it with a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Transfer the melted dark chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
  • Pipe the dark chocolate onto the black sections of each soccer ball design.
  • Freeze for 5 minutes, or until set.
  • Once hardened, fill in the remaining white sections with melted white chocolate.
  • Return to the freezer for another 5 minutes until completely firm.

Step 4: Cut the Treats

  • Remove the chilled Rice Krispie treats from the pan using the parchment paper.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 9 squares.

Step 5: Create the Soccer Field

  • Mix natural green coloring into the remaining melted white chocolate until you reach your desired shade of green.
  • Spread the green chocolate across the bottom third of each crispy rice treat.
  • Use a fork to drag the chocolate upward, creating a grass-like texture.
  • Place one chocolate soccer ball on top of the grass before the chocolate sets.
  • Allow the decorations to harden before serving.
