  • Author: Harper Callahan
  • Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins

Description

Turn your cereal box leftovers into chewy, crunchy, nostalgic snack bars that taste like your childhood but are ready for grown-up life. Perfectly sweet, satisfyingly crisp, and made in minutes—this is your snack-time glow-up!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Cheerios

  • 1 cup Shreddies (or shredded wheat)

  • 1 cup Bran Flakes (or cornflakes/Weetabix)

  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)

  • ⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan)

  • ¼ cup butter or coconut oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  • Melt + Mix: In a saucepan, melt honey and butter/oil over low heat. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla + salt.

  • Toss Cereal Party: In a large bowl, mix oats, Cheerios, Shreddies, and Bran Flakes.

  • Combine: Pour warm syrup over cereal mix. Stir quickly until everything is evenly coated.

  • Press Firmly: Line a 9×9 pan with parchment. Press mixture in very firmly—use a spatula or glass for best results.

  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

  • Slice & Store: Cut into bars and store airtight in fridge (up to 2 weeks) or freeze individually.

Notes

  • Toast oats for 5 mins before mixing for deeper flavor.

  • Add ¼ cup mini chocolate chips after mixing for a sweet crunch.

  • Press hard + chill fully = no crumbles!

  • Try autumn spice mix (1 tsp cinnamon + ¼ tsp nutmeg) for cozy vibes.
