Ingredients

  • 3 cups Cheerios cereal*
  • 1/3 cup honey local and raw is best
  • 1/2 cup almond butter**

For the optional chocolate drizzle:

  • 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Prepare a 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add 3 cups of Cheerios and set aside.
  • In a medium sized pot, heat honey over medium heat. Stir for about 5 minutes and until honey is thin and warm.
  • 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 drizzle in a baggie with a very small slit cut out of one corner and drizzle chocolate over bars. Place pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to help cool bars and harden chocolate. Thaw out a bit if necessary. Cut into 16 squares. Store at room temperature or in the fridge. Enjoy!

Notes

*Any Cheerio variety will work. Use gluten-free, if needed
**Any nut butter or seed butter will work.
