Ingredients

4 cups Honey Nut Cheerios
1 cup Peanut Butter creamy
2 Tbls Honey
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips gluten & dairy free (Enjoy Life)
1 Tbls Coconut Oil
Sea Salt Flakes optional

Instructions

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit an 8x8 square pan, this will help you be able to lift the bars easily out of the pan
Pour the cereal into a large bowl
Add the peanut butter and honey to a glass measuring cup or microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds - peanut butter should be melty and it should be easy to stir
Microwave for an additional 10 seconds at a time until you get this consistency
Pour over the cereal and use a rubber spatula to gently stir the cereal and peanut butter/honey mixture together
Do this until cereal is full coated. Spread the cereal mixture into your parchment lined pan and press down into an even layer. Let sit in the fridge for 20-30 minutes
Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a glass measuring cup or microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time - stir each time. Do this until chocolate is just melted and pourable
Pour over the cooled cereal mixture and let cool in the fridge again for another 20 minutes
Top with sea salt if desired, cut into bars and enjoy!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up 5 days
