3 Ingredient Cereal Bars

These cereal bars are a staple in my house because they come together with just three ingredients that I already have in my pantry. They couldn't be easier to make and are served best cold from the fridge.
Servings: 16 bars

Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • cup honey
  • 3 ½ cups plain Cheerios

Instructions

  • Line a 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside. It helps to lightly spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray in order to have the parchment paper stick better. Place cereal in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or just until the mixture is well combined and ribbony.
  • Add peanut butter mixture to dry cereal and stir until completely coated. Then firmly and evenly press into the lined pan using the back of a measuring cup or bottom of a small bowl.
  • Refrigerate bars for at least one hour, or even up to overnight. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more success you will have with cutting them into bars without crumbling.
  • Cut into any size bars you like. I chose to cut mine in 16 pieces.
