Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies Choose high-quality cereal for best flavor.
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup honey Can substitute with maple syrup or agave.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter Can substitute with almond butter or sun butter for nut-free option.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips They may soften in the mixture.
  • 1/2 cup nuts or seeds Optional ingredient.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies and rolled oats. If using, add nuts or seeds.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and peanut butter, stirring gently until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  4. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and fold together until all are well coated.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer.
  7. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until set. For quicker setting, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  8. Lift the granola bars out using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles.
