What You Need:
1 / 3 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
3 / 4 cup (plus two tablespoons) of Rice Chex cereal

What To Do:

Notes: Alternating the cereal is totally an option.  Also, you can sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of the pieces before placing them into the refrigerator. However, with out any substitutions this yummy bit totals 95 calories, 1.4 grams of protein and only 2.8 grams of fat. This is a perfect thing to make before a game, homework time or another commitment. The chocolate will will give you a little boost, while the Rice Chex will keep you feeling snack-satisfied.
