Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 ½ cups puffed rice cereal (I use Organic Brown Rice Cereal from Whole Foods)
  • 1 1/4 cups oats regular
  • ¼ cup Flax Seed ground
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup pretzels chopped
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter chunky
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup peanut M&Ms

Instructions

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