Salted Caramel Protein Rice Bubble Squares

Rice crispy treats done the New Zealand way using butter and honey that are known as rice bubbles. The butter and honey create a dreamy, sticky caramel sauce that pairs tastefully with the crunchy rice cereal. Feel free to add a scoop of salted caramel protein powder for extra flavor and nutrients. These bars are so good. They make me feel like I'm back in a fancy overseas bakery..
