Ingredients

For the Bars:
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
3 cups Cheerios cereal 

Directions

1. Line an 8×8‑inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
   
   

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and heat in additional 15-second intervals until smooth and easily stirrable.
   
   

3. Add the Cheerios to the bowl and gently toss until all cereal pieces are thoroughly coated.
   
   

4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down firmly using plastic wrap or parchment for an even, compact layer.
   
   

5. Freeze the pan for about 30 minutes, or until bars are set.
   
   

6. Once firm, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment and cut into 9 bars.
   
   

7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
