Peanut Butter Cereal Bars
These Peanut Butter Cereal Bars are so easy to make and only require five simple ingredients including cereal, peanut butter, butter, marshmallow, and chocolate.
Ingredients
For Cereal Bars
- 3 cups cereal *I used Cheerios
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter *I used vegan
- 2 cups marshmallows *Heaping cups, roughly 5oz
For Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup chocolate
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
Instructions
- In a medium non-stick pot, melt the vegan butter on medium to low heat.
- Add marshmallow and peanut butter, gently stir until fully melted. Once melted, immediately add cheerios. Overheating can cause the marshmallow and peanut butter mixture to start dry out and become sticky.
- Stir in cheerios and fold together until cheerios are fully coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Pour the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish lined parchment paper or wax paper.
- Wet hands and press cereal mixture down (damp hands will prevent the cheerios mixture from sticking to your hands).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate with the peanut butter for about 30 seconds or until fully melted. Spread on top evenly.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set and enjoy.
- Store in airtight container in the fridge or on the counter
