Ingredients

3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
3 1/2 cups O’s cereal
3 tablespoons hemp seeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

Place peanut butter and honey in a saucepan over low heat and stir for one minute or until melted and combined. You could also do this step in the microwave in 30 seconds increments until melted.
Place cereal, hemp and chia seeds in a bowl and stir to combine.
Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal and stir to throughly coat the cereal evenly.
Pour mixture into a greased and parchment lined 8x8 inch baking dish.
Using a spatula press the mixture into the pan until top is smooth, flat and even.
Allow bars to thoroughly cool in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes.
Once cooled, cut into bars or squares.

Notes

- Press firmly: Use a spatula to press the mixture firmly into the pan so the bars hold together well once cooled.

- Cool completely: Don’t rush the cooling process. Letting the bars sit for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator helps them firm up and keep their shape.

- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To freeze, wrap bars individually and store in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and enjoy!
