Ingredients

For the bars
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies
  • ½ cup salted peanuts
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth - almond butter works too)
  • ½ cup honey
For the coating
  • 3½ ounces white chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the rolled oats, rice Krispies and peanuts in a bowl.
  2. Heat the peanut butter and honey together slightly in a smaller bowl (I did this by microwaving for 20 or 30 seconds*).
  3. Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture over the oats and peanuts, and mix until the dry ingredients are well combined.
  4. Press into a 9 x 9 inch (or similar) tin or dish (press down and right into the corners!), then freeze for around 30 minutes before cutting into about 10 bars.
  5. Melt the white chocolate and peanut butter together in a small(ish) flat bowl or dish, then dip the top side of each bar into it. Place the bars non-coated-side-down to set.
  6. If you like, wrap bars individually in baking or greaseproof paper and freeze until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Don't have a microwave?
  • If you don’t have a microwave, heat the peanut butter and honey together slightly over a bowl of simmering water (taking care not to let the bowl touch the water). You don’t really have to heat it, but it just makes it a bit easier to mix into the dry ingredients.
