HONEY NUT CEREAL BAR

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with 2 pieces of parchment paper.
• Combine butter, sugar, honey, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 1 to 2 minutes, then immediately remove from heat.
• Stir in cereal and almonds. Pour into lined pan, pressing down with a rubber spatula. Let cool completely (about 30 minutes), and cut into 16 squares.

HONEY-NUT CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with enough foil so that there's a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and honey and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond butter and vanilla. Add the whole oat cereal, puffed wheat cereal and 1 cup of the chopped mixed nuts. Stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped nuts on top and press into the top (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Cut into 24 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

HONEY OAT CEREAL BARS

Steps:

• Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the oat cereal and marshmallows in a large bowl.
• Combine the butter, brown sugar, honey and salt in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, then carefully stir in the vanilla. Add the cereal mixture and stir to coat completely.
• Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Allow to cool and set, about 1 hour, before cutting into squares.

PEANUT BUTTER CEREAL BARS

Steps:

• Measure cereal into large bowl. Set aside.
• Boil corn syrup in microwave. Add white sugar and stir well. Return to microwave and reheat until boiling.
• Add peanut butter to sugar/syrup mixture and stir well.
• Quickly pour peanut butter/syrup/sugar mixture into mixing bowl with cereal. Stir well (but fast!) and then transfer to a pan or baking sheet. *NOTE: This step, and the one following, must be done as quickly as possible because as the corn syrup cools the cereal mixture becomes harder to spread.*.
• Form mixture into one big rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Cool in fridge for 1 hour.
• After its cooled the cereal rectangle may be cut into bars or squares. An alternative is to break the rectangle up by hand into pieces.
• Please note that cheerios should not make up more than 1/3rd of the mix as they absorb the corn syrup. If you need to use more cheerios (or other absorbent cereal) then add a bit more corn syrup.
