Open in Pepper →Bars You Can Make On A Busy Afternoon
A pan of cereal bars is one of those things you can pull together while dinner's cooking, and it takes care of lunchboxes and after-school snacking for the rest of the week. Most of them come down to cereal or oats, something sticky, and a little patience while they set.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when the snack drawer is empty, when they need something for a class party, or when they want a treat that doesn't heat up the kitchen.
Every recipe here is a real pan of bars — homemade granola bars with peanut butter and honey, no bake granola bars with oats and chia, millionaire's cornflake bars, Fruity Pebbles cereal bars, Cheerios bars with marshmallow fluff, and banana, apple & cinnamon granola bars.
Quick Tips
- 1
Press the mixture down hard
Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack the mixture into the pan. Loose bars crumble the second you cut them.
- 2
Line the pan first
Leave 2 inches of parchment hanging over two sides so you can lift the whole slab out and cut it on a board.
- 3
Let them set fully
Give no-bake bars at least 2 hours in the fridge before cutting, or 30 minutes in the freezer if you're in a hurry.
- 4
Watch the syrup closely
For cornflake and peanut butter bars, heat the butter, sugar and syrup just until it bubbles, about 1 to 2 minutes, then pull it off the heat.
