Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Raisin Bran cereal
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey, and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined.
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Place the Raisin Bran cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula to create an even, compact layer.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the bars have set and are firm to the touch.
Once set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12 evenly-sized pieces.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or at room temperature for up to three days.
