Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
Sweet, crunchy Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars are the easy recipe you’ve been craving—perfect as a no-bake snack, light dessert, or grab-and-go treat.
Ingredients
- 4 cups plain or honey-nut Cheerios (use gluten-free variety if needed)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter/sunflower seed butter)
- 1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup (maple keeps it vegan)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (omit if your peanut butter is salted)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if vegan)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for glossy chocolate)
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang for easy lifting.
- Warm peanut butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan until glossy and just bubbling. Avoid a rolling boil.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over Cheerios and mix until evenly coated. Transfer to the lined pan and press firmly into an even layer.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil, then drizzle over the bars. Chill in the fridge until firm.
- Cut bars into 12-16 pieces and enjoy!
Notes
Stir peanut butter before measuring to avoid empty jar woes. For extra smooth peanut butter, microwave it for 10-15 seconds. Customize with nuts, dried fruit, or sea salt toppings.
