  8. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow the mixture to set
  9. (Optional) Cut out 18-20 heart shapes from the mixture using a heart-shaped cookie cutter OR cut into 12-16 squares
  10. In the microwave or over a bain-marie, melt the white chocolate chips over low heat and add a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve the desired color

Notes

If using a whey protein powder, use less liquid
Using Soy Protein Crisps adds more protein to the recipe, and they have the same texture as the rice bubbles 
Note: If using regular marshmallows and white chocolate chips, the recipe will have more sugar than the sugar-free version.
