HOMEMADE KUDOS | EASY SNACKS

HOMEMADE KUDOS | EASY SNACKS
The nostalgia hits hard with these ones. I definitely remember seeing a couple in my lunch box from time to time. Now you can make them at home! Still not extremely healthy, but way better than the packaged ones we used to have. These taste so good and have an amazing chew, definitely worth the try!
Recipe I Used:
/ c3s6rbogsto
4 c rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
2 c old fashioned rolled oats
1 ¼ c light brown sugar
¾ c honey
¼ c peanut butter
6 tbsp coconut oil, plus 2 tsp extra for the chocolate
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
2 c semi sweet chocolate chips
½ c mini m&ms
1. Line a 9x13 pan & a baking sheet w/ parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rice cereal & old fashioned oats. Set aside.
3. Place a skillet over medium heat. Add brown sugar, honey, peanut butter, 6 tbsp coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine.
4. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Simmer for 4-5 min, or until it becomes a thick sauce.
5. Pour sauce over the rice cereal & oats. Stir w/ a rubber spatula to coat evenly.
6. Scoop mixture into the prepared 9x13 pan & press down into a flat, even layer.
7. Place in fridge for about 1 hr, or until the bars have cooled & solidified.
8. After they’ve set, remove from the pan & cut into individual rectangular granola bars (about 24).
9. Add chocolate chips & 2 tsp coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 sec intervals, stirring in between, until melted & smooth.
10. Dip bottoms of the bars in the chocolate, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, chocolate side down.
11. Scoop remaining chocolate into a zip top bag & cut off a small piece of the corner. Place m&ms on top of each bar. Use the bag to drizzle chocolate over top to secure the m&ms in place.
12. Place in the refrigerator, just until chocolate sets.
