Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of your favorite cereal (such as cornflakes or rice cereal)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy based on preference)
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Heat Peanut Butter and Honey: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently warm the peanut butter and honey together, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Do not overheat or let it boil.
  2. Mix with Cereal: Remove from heat and immediately add the cereal to the peanut butter and honey mixture. Stir thoroughly until every piece of cereal is coated evenly.
  3. Press and Chill: Transfer the mixture to a lined 8×8 inch baking dish. Use a spatula or clean hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for allergies or different flavors.
  • Use gluten-free cereal if you need a gluten-free option.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For added texture, consider mixing in some chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips.
