The quick and easy post ride snack.
Whether you’re coming back from a short run or a long morning ride on the weekend, the post ride snack is essential to refueling the body. I’m usually all over the flavor spectrum, so I went with some Hot and Spicy and Pepper Jack with Dark Chocolate, White Cheddar and White Chocolate, Original and Milk and Dark Chocolate, so try the Cheez-It Toffee Protein Bars!
 
Ingredients:
1 box of the Cheez-It’s, any flavor you desire!
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup, packed light brown sugar
25oz. (2.5 bags) of white, milk, or dark chocolate chips
1 cup of crushed toasted walnuts, almond slices, or pecan pieces
Optional: 2.5 cups or 200grams of chocolate or vanilla whey protein blended thoroughly into the melted chocolate, trick is to add ½ stick of melted butter to help blend.
 
  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with butter or with non-stick spray
  3. Lay a layer and half of Cheez-It crackers out making sure to fill in any gaps.
  4. Melt the sugar and butter in a pan then reduce the heat and let simmer for 3-4 minutes or until mixture is thickened and sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Pour evenly over the Cheez-It layer and fill in any gaps with a spatula.
    Bake in oven for 6-7 minutes until the toffee becomes bubbly.
  6. Turn off oven, then take out of oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
  7. Melt the chocolate chips and spread them into an even layer. Optional: 2.5 cups or 200grams of chocolate or vanilla whey protein blended thoroughly into the melted chocolate, trick is to add ½ stick of melted butter to help blend.
  8. When done spreading the chocolate this is the time to sprinkle on the chopped nuts or whatever else you want to add.
  9. Let cool and/or refrigerate until hardened, then break into pieces and enjoy.
