Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup crisp rice cereal
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment. Warm peanut butter, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  2. Off heat, stir in oats, rice cereal, and salt until coated, then fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the pan using a flat-bottomed cup or parchment.
  4. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm, then lift out and slice into 16 bars.

Notes

Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before slicing or they’ll crumble. If you swap the honey for maple syrup, the bars will be slightly softer; keep them in the fridge for the best texture.
