Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups rice cereal
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions

- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, and butter. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and pour the mixture over the oat and cereal blend. Stir until evenly coated, then press firmly into an 8×8-inch pan.
- Immediately sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top and press them gently into the surface.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing into 12 bars.
Notes
- Press the mixture firmly to help the bars hold together once set.
- For cleaner cuts, chill the bars before slicing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
