Description

These chewy, nutty, chocolate-kissed bars are your new go-to for quick snacks, lunchbox treats, or late-night cravings. No oven required—just a handful of pantry staples, one pot, and a little chill time. Homemade never tasted (or looked) this good!


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup Rice Krispies

2 cups oats

¼ cup honey

¼ cup butter

⅓ cup brown sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

⅓ cup chocolate chips

Handful of chopped pecans (optional)


Instructions

Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine oats and Rice Krispies.

Make the Syrup: In a saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter, and honey over medium-high heat until bubbling. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla.

Combine: Pour the hot syrup over the oat mix. Stir until evenly coated.

Add Crunch: Fold in chopped pecans (if using).

Press & Set: Firmly press the mixture into a greased or lined pan. Pack it tightly to help it hold together.

Top It Off: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and gently press them in.

Chill: Let it sit at room temp or in the fridge for 2 hours to firm up. Cut into bars and enjoy!
