Ingredients
  

  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3 cups quick cook oats see recipe note
  • 1 ½ cups rice krispies any puffed rice cereal works
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Coat a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir together oats, rice krispies, chocolate chips and marshmallows in a large bowl.
  • On the stove heat the butter, honey and brown sugar. Once the mixture is completely melted and beginning to bubble take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  • Pour sugar mixture over the oat mixture and stir to combine. Top with mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Press into 9 by 13 pan and let cool completely, 1-2 hours. If you can’t wait that long, put the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes to help the bars harden. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe notes: If you only have rolled oats on hand, give them a quick whirl in the blender to break them down. You can also leave out the chocolate chips and marshmallows and sub any other goodie in there…nuts, peanut butter chips, raisins, etc…
