No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

Although our kids are grown and I don’t need to have snacks on demand anymore, this recipe is still a keeper! I love the chocolate peanut butter combination and this recipe is perfect. This would also be a great bake sale item for when the kids are back in school but no matter why you make them, I know you will enjoy them!

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
2 cups oats
1 cup halved cashews
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup honey
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips

DIRECTIONS
Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside. Combine cereal, oats and nuts in a large bowl and mix.  In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup and honey mixing well and combining until the mixture just starts to boil. Remove from heat and add the peanut butter, salt and vanilla, mix to combine and pour over cereal mixture and combine until well coated. Add the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips mixing again.  Pour entire mixture into your prepared pan and pat down forming a flat single layer.
Let cool and slice into bars.  Store covered.

Enjoy!
