Directions

  1. Make sure cereal is finely crushed with a rolling pin or food processor, particularly if using a very "natural" type of flake cereal.
  2. Mix the cereal in a bowl with the nuts.
  3. Bring the honey, nut butter, and sugar to a slow boil in a pot.
  4. Remove from heat, stir into cereal and nut mixture.Note: If using a particularly 'dry' natural cereal and a natural nut butter, you may need to add an additional tablespoon of 'regular' butter to make everything easier to mix.
  5. Spread mixture into parchment-lined pan or divide between cupcake liners. Melt chocolate and either drizzle or lightly spoon onto the cereal mixture. Chill for five minutes. If making bars, score with a knife and return to the refrigerator. Wait at least two hours until hardened, then serve at room temperature.
