Instructions
- Add cereal, oats, flax seed, raisins and pretzels into a bowl.
- Stir to combine
- In a saucepan, add honey, brown sugar and salt.
- Over medium heat, whisk until combined
- Let it come to a boil for 45 seconds.
- Add in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes since it is still so hot.
- Add to the dry ingredients and combine.
- Let cool again until you can add your M&Ms without them melting before mixing them in
- Grease a 9×13 pan and gently pat the mixture into the pan
- Refrigerate until it has firmed up.
- At this point you can enjoy them chewy but we are looking for crispy and chewy, so we are going to bake them.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Take out of the fridge, flip tray upside down onto cutting board.
- Cut in half lengthwise, then into bars of your choosing. I cut ours into 16 pieces.
- Put onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes
- Let cool and enjoy!
