Honey Roasted Peanut Cheerio Bars

                                    

These bars are super easy to make and… they have an amazing sweet/salty flavor. Enjoy one as a quick breakfast, snack or dessert.

1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 cups honey nut cheerios
½ cup honey roasted peanuts

Directions:

Add the peanut butter, honey and salt to a microwave safe medium sized bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and mix well. Stir in the cheerios and peanuts, until well incorporated. . Press mixture into an 8 by 8 inch pan. (Lining the pan with a large rectangular piece of parchment paper, placing the mixture on one side and then folding the paper over to press down works nicely since the dough is so sticky.) Refrigerate for at least one hour until very firm and then cut into 16 squares. Store in the fridge in an airtight container

Makes 16 squares, 16 servings
