Healthy, No Bake Granola Bars

INGREDIENTS:

3 TBSP Peanut Butter

2 TBSP butter

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup rapadura
2 cups QUICK cooking oats
1 cup brown puff rice cereal
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

  

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, stir oats and rice cereal together. Set aside. In a small pot, melt butter, peanut butter, honey and rapadura together over medium high heat until it comes to a bubble. Reduce the heat and cook (at a gentle boil) for 2 minutes. Pour in vanilla and stir. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well to moisten all ingredients. Pour into lightly greased 9x13 pan and press out to be about 3/4 inch in thickness. Spray clean hands with cooking spray and press firmly to get it to come together. Cool on a countertop to room temperature until cool. About 1 hour. Wrap in parchment or plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
