Ingredients
3 cups quick cooking oats
1½ cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, crushed
1 cup toasted rice cereal
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
½ cup honey
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the quick cooking oats, 1½ cups crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, toasted rice cereal, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, honey, and brown sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to bubble, then reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the warm honey-butter syrup over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated and the mixture is evenly moistened.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch sheet pan. Using your hands or the back of a spatula, firmly press and pat the mixture into an even, compact layer. Press firmly to ensure the bars hold together when cut.
Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and remaining crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal evenly across the top of the bars. Gently press the toppings into the surface.
Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for at least 2 hours before cutting. Once cooled completely, cut into 12 equal bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
