To make these cereal bars, skip the marshmallow and grease. You'll need just a few ingredients: Affiliate links are included in this post for your convenience.
1/2 cup any creamy peanut butter
4 cups Rice Crispies cereal (or any toasted rice cereal would work)
Mix together: 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Pour these together in a saucepan. Heat on the stovetop and continue stirring until the mixture begins to boil.
Remove from heat and pour over 4 cups of cereal
. Mix together until the cereal is coated with the peanut butter/honey mixture.
Line a 9x9 inch casserole dish with parchment paper. We have used wax paper in a pinch. Pour the cereal into the casserole dish.
Use another piece of parchment paper to firmly press down the cereal. You will want to press down pretty hard so that the cereal bars are not crumbly.
Allow the cereal treats to harden for several hours. Pop them right out onto a cutting board in one big piece. Using the parchment paper made this so easy. Use a sharp knife to cut the rice crispy cereal treat squares.
