HOMEMADE SNACK BAR RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 cup peanut butter

2. 1/4 cup honey

3. 3 cups corn flakes

4. 2 cups rice crisps

5. 1/2 cup sliced almonds

6. 1/4 cup chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Add peanut butter and honey to a large bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, and mix in between. It took me 1 minute until it was fully soft.

2. Add cornflakes, rice crisps, almonds, and chocolate chips. Mix well.

3. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray and add in the mixture.

4. Compact the mixture really well using your hands. This is the most important step.

5. Refrigerate until hard

6. Once hard, cut into smaller pieces.

For storage, I recommend storing at room temperature for up to a week or freezing for up to 3 months!
