Chocolate–Peanut Butter Bars

 Ingredients

1 cup smooth peanut butter (I use a sugar-free one)

2/3 cup (4 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

2 cups crisp cereal

 

Preparations

Place the peanut butter in a small saucepan or a cast-iron skillet. Put it over medium heat, and stir with a wooden spoon while it softens. This will take only about 1 minute.

Remove the pan from the stove and put it on a trivet or a folded dish towel. Pour in the chocolate chips, and stir until they soften into the peanut butter. They don’t need to melt all the way; you just want them supple.

Pour in the cereal, and mix slowly until all the pieces of cereal are completely (or at least reasonably) coated.

Use two spoons to scoop up and form tablespoon-sized hunks of the batter, and put them on a plate. Refrigerate, uncovered, for about an hour, or until firm. You can eat them straight from the refrigerator, or transfer the solid bars to a heavy resealable plastic bag and freeze them. They are good frozen, or just plain cold. Excellent with coffee!

Tips

Add 1/3 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or not, depending on your sweet tooth).

Add 1/3 cup chopped toasted almonds or walnuts.

Vary the cereal. Just avoid highly sweetened products.
