Ingredients

• 4 cups Kix cereal
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 0.75 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir constantly until they are fully melted and blended together, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, add the Kix cereal. Pour the warm peanut butter and honey mixture over the cereal and gently fold until all the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly with a spatula or your hands (you can lightly spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking).

Step 6

In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and butter. Heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 7

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cereal mixture, using a spoon or piping bag for more even distribution.

Step 8

Let the bars set for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for quicker setting.

Step 9

Once firm, cut into 12 equal bars and serve.

Step 10

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
