Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and honey. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Gently fold the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into the melted white chocolate mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Mix carefully to avoid crushing the cereal.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a smooth, compact layer.
- Refrigerate the bars for approximately 1 hour, or until the mixture has completely set and become firm.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and place on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 equal-sized rectangular bars.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best texture, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Use fresh, crisp Cinnamon Toast Crunch to maintain optimal texture and prevent soggy bars.
- Microwave chocolate mixture in short intervals to prevent burning and ensure smooth melting.
- Stir gently when incorporating cereal to keep pieces intact and maintain crunch.
- Use parchment paper overhang for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Chill bars completely before cutting for clean, precise edges.
- For extra indulgence, consider drizzling melted white chocolate on top or sprinkling extra cinnamon.
- Let bars sit at room temperature briefly before serving to soften slightly and enhance flavor.
