Ingredients

3 cups puffed wheat cereal
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup liquid honey
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

Steps:

Lightly grease an 8"x 8" x 2" baking pan.

Tips:

For a chewier texture, use 1 cup of peanut butter instead of 1/2 cup.
To make the squares even more decadent, use a combination of creamy and crunchy peanut butter.
Feel free to add in other mix-ins of your choice, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use a larger or smaller pan and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Be sure to let the squares cool completely before cutting them into bars, otherwise they will be too soft and crumbly.
