By cyosi

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups quick oats
• 1 cup rice krispie cereal
• 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the oats and cereal in a large bowl and set aside.

In a large saucepan add the coconut oil, honey, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until melted. Bring to a boil and lower temperature. Simmer for two minutes. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and stir until melted.

Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and cereal. Stir until thoroughly coated. Let cool for a few minutes before stirring in the chocolate chips and peanut butter cups.

Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9x13 pan (I use an 8x8 inch pan). Let cool before cutting into bars. Makes 16 bars.
