Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • 3 cups rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup special k cereal
  • 1 ½ cup sunflower seeds shells removed
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Butter a 9 x 11-inch baking dish and set it aside. Alternatively, line it with parchment paper.
  • Combine the honey, peanut butter, brown sugar, and butter in a mixing bowl using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or an electric mixer.

  • Gradually add the cereal and sunflower seed mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the bars.
  • Refrigerate until the bars are firm, then cut into squares and serve. Keep them chilled.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Recipe Notes

  • I’ve tested this recipe with name-brand cereal and store brands. Name brands hold up much better.
  • You can use almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or any other butter.
  • Press the mixture into the buttered baking dish firmly and press it down lightly with the back of a spatula.
  • You can use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • Store your Molly Bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be enjoyed frozen or thawed for a few minutes at room temperature.
