Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup unsweetened natural peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1 cup chocolate chips ((dark or semi-sweet))
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal ((or puffed flax cereal))
  • 2½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup dried cherries ((or raisins; optional))

Instruction

  • Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving enough on the sides for you to lift the bars out of the pan.
  • Add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and brown rice syrup to a large heat-proof bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth, stopping to stir. (It should take a minute).
  • Add the cereal, oats, cereal, and dried cherries.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon, then use your (clean) hands to massage the ingredients together until well incorporated.
  • Pour into pan and use your hands to press down firmly and evenly.
  • Chill for 10-20 minutes, use the parchment to remove from the pan, and slice into bars. Serve chilled (they will be firmer) or at room temperature.
