Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
3 1/2 cups toasted oat cereal
1 cup mini marshmallows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Allow to cool and set, about 1 hour, before cutting into squares.

Tips:

Use fresh honey. Fresh honey has a more robust flavor than older honey. It will also help your cereal bars stay moist and chewy.
Don't overcook the cereal mixture. The cereal mixture should be thick and gooey, but it should not be hard or crunchy. Overcooked cereal mixture will make your cereal bars tough.
Use a variety of cereals. Using a variety of cereals will give your cereal bars more flavor and texture. Some good choices include oats, cornflakes, Rice Krispies, and shredded wheat.
Add mix-ins. Mix-ins are a great way to customize your cereal bars. Some popular mix-ins include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and chocolate chips.
Press the cereal mixture firmly into the pan. This will help the cereal bars hold together better.
Let the cereal bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
