How to Make No Bake Cereal Bars

  1. Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup light corn syrup and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Add 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Rice Krispies or Cheerios).
  7. Mix thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated.
  8. Immediately press the mixture firmly into the greased pan.
  9. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth.
  10. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the cereal mixture and spread to cover.
