This here is the end product after refrigerating. CAN YOU SEE THAT CHOCOLATE??! YUMMMM.
I adapted this recipe from dessertswithbenefits.com, so credits goes to the brilliant creator!
It was supposedly no bake, but after refrigerating, it became kind of soft, so i popped them into the oven and heated them up for 5mins. My god, so gooooooood.

MOCHA ALMOND KRISPY 24 mini servings
Ingredients
-2.5 cup crispy rice cereal
-1/4 cup old fashion oats
-1 tbs flaxseed
-100g (1/4 cup) maple syrup (lessen this amount if you want it less sweet. Or just use the same amount of brown rice syrup)
-64g (1/4 cup) almond butter (or any neutral tasting butter. I used a mix)
-1/2 tsp cocoa powder
-1 tsp + 1/8 tsp almond extract
-28g chocolate protein powder (I didn't have chocolate flavor so I used vanilla whey protein + 1 tsp cocoa powder)
-1 tsp instant coffee
-some dark chocolate (I used Lindt 90% chocolate plus some orange flavoured chocolate. Awesome)
Instructions
1. Line a container/ brownie pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together cereal, oats and flaxseed.
3. In another microwave-safe bowl, stir together maple syrup, almond butter and almond extract. Microwave at 30s intervals, stirring in between until runny. (I don't have a microwave, so i use a preheated oven)
4. Stir in protein powder and coffee powder by one spoonful at a time into wet ingredients.
5. Scoop mixture into pan and flatten.
6. Melt chocolate and drizzle over. Refrigerate until firm.
7. Cut and enjoy! :D
Notes and Nutritional info
No bake, high protein, vegan, gluten.
Nutrition stats per serving: 44kcals, 6g carbs, 2g fat, 2g protein, 2g sugar (This is kind of high in carbs D: But look at that protein content for a tiny piece! I'm planning to further modify this recipe to include less sugar because, well I didn't expect it to have that much D:)

BY THE WAY, this is the coffee i used for this recipe!
Chocolate caramel flavor coffee. *drools*
I saw this on the shelves in Cold Storage yesterday and just couldn't resist. Glad i bought it! It smells so much like caramel when you add hot water to it. I had 2 cups of it today! I know, i know, one shouldn't consume that more caffeine in one day, but it's SO nice x.x

Little RJ! He's actually half-asleep but i don't think you can see it due to the poor lighting. Well, I ain't a professional photographer. But then again, maybe i should have just on the lights...
He's so cute when he wears his shirt. :3
Oh yah! Stuff i did today: I went for Jeet Kune Do training. Its some form of martial arts in case you haven't heard of it. I trained from 2pm to 4pm. I feel so inspired. Every time I train, I learn something new, either in the mental state or the physical state. Every Sunday, I would feel so lazy to go training, but I drag my lazy butt down there and have never regretted! Today was no exception! I'm so glad i joined! :D
