Peanut Butter Snack Bars image

These are Mike's favorite bars--a combination of energy bars, granola bars, and cereal bars. These can be adapted to your taste with fruits, nuts, seeds, chocolate, etc. Also, depending on your selection of ingredients, you can go 100% natural/organic.

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

parchment paper
cooking spray
¾ cup chopped dark chocolate
2 cups rolled oats
¼ cup wheat germ
¼ cup flax seeds
1 cup crispy rice cereal
1 cup cornflake crumbs
¾ cup chopped smoke-flavored almonds
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup honey
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon canola oil
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Spread chocolate evenly over prepared baking dish.
  • Toast oats, wheat germ, and flax seed in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until oats are lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer oat mixture to a large bowl and stir in crispy rice cereal, cornflake crumbs, almonds, and salt.
  • Heat honey, peanut butter, brown sugar, agave nectar, canola oil, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture; gently stir until well mixed.
  • Spread peanut butter-cereal mixture into the baking dish. Place another sheet of parchment over the mixture and firmly press into the dish until even. Allow to completely cool before removing from baking dish and slicing.

I had to make a few substitutions because I didn't have all of the ingredients, but the bars still turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but these bars were surprisingly good. The oats and chocolate chips helped to balance out the peanut butter flavor.

These bars were a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making them with less peanut butter next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.
