- 1/2 cup raisins
Directions
-
In bowl place cereal, oats and raisins and set aside. In sauce pan, bring brown sugar and corn syrup to a boil, stir often. Once it’s boiling, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Once smooth, pour over cereal mixture and mix well. Let cool for a few minutes and then stir in chocolate chips ( if you don’t let it cool for a bit and add in the chocolate, they will melt!). Press firmly in greased 9×13 pan and allow to cool. Once cool cut into bars. Store in air tight container.

Once again this is a recipe you can change up. The bars pictured above, I didn’t put in the raisins. I doubled the chocolate chips to 1 cup and used mini chocolate chips instead. Pretty much you can add what ever you’d like, some chopped nuts and cranberries, just raisins, how about some peanut butter chips or mini M&M’s? The possibilities are endless and the best part is the kids LOVE them. I even sneak some in Mr. Bacon’s lunch! Go on give them a try and let me know what you think
