Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a 9x13-inch casserole dish with parchment and set aside.
  • Add the Chex to a food processor and pulse until they break up into small pieces. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Chex in a gallon-sized bag and break them up with your hands.

  • Next, add the peanut butter, brown rice syrup, and honey to a large bowl and mix until combined. Pour the Chex pieces, peanuts, and chocolate chips into the peanut butter mixture and mix until all of the ingredients are coated in the peanut butter mixture. You may need to wet your hands and mix to really make sure everything is coated.

  • Pour the mixture into the lined dish and use your hands or a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the pan. Be sure to really press the mixture down, so everything sticks together.

  • Place the dish into the freezer for 1-2 hours to set. Remove the casserole dish after the bars have set, and gently lift the bars from the dish with the parchment paper. Place the bars on a large cutting board and cut the bars with a sharp knife into whatever shape you desire. We prefer rectangles.

Notes

*Drippy peanut butter is very important for this recipe. We use all-natural creamy Smuckers or Trader Joe's brand. If you don’t have drippy peanut butter, you may need to add a few teaspoons of melted coconut oil to the peanut butter.
