Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups Kashi Honey Toasted Hearts and O's or other cereal of choice
1 cup Natural Peanut Butter warmed to a pourable consistency
2 tablespoon Date Paste
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Instructions

Line an 8x8 inch, or similar sized pan, with waxed paper or parchment.
Chop about half of the cereal into smaller pieces, and mix together with the whole pieces (if your cereal is already small, you can skip this).
Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds, until pourable.
Pour the peanut butter into the cereal. Stir to coat all the pieces well.
Add the date paste and vanilla to the cereal, and combine well.
Pour the entire mixture into the prepared pan, and press down hard.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into 16 bars.
These are best eaten at room temperature, but they should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Remove about 20 minutes before eating.
