Instructions
- First, line a 9x9-inch (or 8x8) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easier removal.
- Then, combine the peanut butter, liquid sweetener, and brown sugar (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for a minute. Stir well and microwave for a further minute, if needed, to melt the brown sugar.You only need to heat the mixture until it mixes into a cohesive mixture.
- Then, working one at a time, stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, oats, cereal, dried fruit, and finally, the chocolate chips (only once the mixture has cooled; otherwise, they’ll melt).
- Pour the mixture into the dish, cover it with a layer of parchment paper, and press it with your hands or the bottom of a wide cup into a compact, even layer.
- Transfer it to the freezer for an hour to set before finally removing it from the pan and cutting it into your preferred size peanut butter chocolate granola bars.

Notes
- No microwave? Either heat the ingredients in a saucepan over low OR use naturally drippy peanut butter and a thin syrup, like maple syrup.
- Press it firmly: To form compact bars that will hold their shape.
- Customize them: You can use up to 1 ½ cups of your favorite add-ins, so have fun experimenting with different combinations.
