Instructions

Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cereal, dried berries, and peanuts. Mix well.
In a pot over medium heat, use a hand whisk to constantly stir honey and peanut butter until completely smooth and fully incorporated, about 1 min.
Remove from heat as soon as mixture turns smooth and silky. Do not let it boil or become overcooked, as the peanut butter may "seize" and lose its ability to stick well. Let mixture cool 3-5 min.
Pour peanut/honey mixture over the dry cereal mixture, tossing to coat well.
Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. Press down hard so mixture adheres; firmly press down the sides and corners also. Cover and chill in fridge several hours before cutting into bars.

When combining the cereal, dried berries, and peanuts, mix them well to ensure that each bite of your peanut butter cheerio bars has a good balance of flavors and textures.
When heating the honey and peanut butter,keep stirring with a hand whisk. This will help the ingredients to combine smoothly and prevent the peanut butter from seizing.
After heating the honey and peanut butter, allow the mixture to cool for 3-5 minutes before pouring it over the dry ingredients. This will make it easier to handle and also prevent the cereal from getting too soggy.
Don't be afraid to use a little elbow grease when pressing the mixture into the pan. Press hard to ensure that the ingredients stick together and that your bars hold their shape.
We've made these bars using various brands of peanut butter, all with nice results. If using peanut butter with no sugar added, feel free to bump up your honey amount to 1 cup if you like your bars a bit sweeter.
