Instructions
- Prepare a 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper; set aside.

- Remove the honey from heat and add in almond butter, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the honey/almond butter mixture over the cereal and stir until cereal is well coated.
- Transfer cereal to prepared baking dish. Use damp hands to press the cereal mixture into dish.
- To make the chocolate drizzle, place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl and heat on high 30 seconds. Stir. If chocolate hasn't melted completely place in microwave again in 10 second intervals and stir until melted. Place chocolate drizzle in a ziplock bag with a very small slit cut out of one corner and drizzle chocolate over bars.
