Salted Peanut Honey Bars

Salted Peanut Honey Bars! No bake bars packed full of peanuts and honey. Top them off with a drizzle of chocolate or have them plain for a sweet and salty treat.

We  are total peanut butter fanatics around here. Love it.  I actually have a child that coats everything in peanut butter (including vegetables), because, he says it “just makes everything taste better”.  I’m not that fanatical, but, I do love me some peanut butter.  It’s just so darn good.

Today’s post not only has peanut butter, but, actual peanuts.  Real life, crunchy, fabulous peanuts. Yum.

Ingredients List:

• crispy rice cereal
• creamy peanut butter
• honey
• sugar
• peanuts
• chocolate chips, optional

Crispy Rice Cereal: AKA – Rice Krispies or brand equivalent

Peanuts: Salted or Unsalted can be used..your choice!

How to Make:

• In a saucepan, melt honey and sugar until sugar is fully dissolved. Let the mixture come to a low boil ( keep a close eye on it) then, remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter.
• Next, mix the peanut butter mixture with chopped peanuts and cereal. Be sure everything is coated.
• Press the mixture into your pan and top with a few additional chopped peanuts. You will need to press them down lightly to have them stick. Refrigerate until set.
• If desired, you can melt chocolate chips and drizzle on cooled bars.

A few notes:

• Spraying your knife with non stick cooking spray makes your life much easier when cutting these.
• Line your pan well with foil and again, spray with non stick cooking spray before adding the cereal mixture.
