How to Make No Bake Rice Krispies Peanut Butter Granola Bars Lower Fat

  1. Lightly grease an 11x7 inch baking dish (a 13x9 inch dish will result in thinner bars).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 2 cups rolled oats, and 1 cup raisins (or your preferred mix-ins).
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup light corn syrup (or honey), 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Immediately remove from heat and stir in 1 cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the bowl.
  6. Stir gently to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  7. Quickly stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips (work quickly as the mixture will harden).
  8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using slightly wet hands, press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
  9. For easier slicing, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into desired sizes while the mixture is still slightly soft.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until completely firm, before serving.
