Ingredients

• 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1.5 cups Crispy rice cereal
• 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overheating.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, crispy rice cereal, mini chocolate chips (if using), and chia seeds (if using).

Step 5

Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix until all the dry ingredients are coated and evenly combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 7

Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars or your desired size.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
