The Best Ever Apple Crisp Cereal Bars Questions and Answers:

Can I use a different cereal? Yes, you can use crispy rice cereal or honey O’s would be great as well

Can I make these vegan? yes, I’ve seen vegan marshmallows on the market and of course you could use vegan butter and vegan cereal

Can I use fresh apple? No, it’s best to use dried apple chips, there is too much moisture in fresh apple for this bar to come together as a no bake recipe.

Author Joseph Sciascia of Recipe For A Party

Ingredients

  • 5 cups cheerios or other oat O's cereal
  • 2 1/2 cups crisp apple chips, crushed
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 10 oz bag of miniature marshmallows
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Spray an 8 X 8 square pan or line with parchment paper and set aside

  2. Mix together the cereal, crushed apple chips and almonds together and set aside

  3. Melt the butter and almond butter in a 5 or 6 quart pot over medium heat, once melted add the marshmallows, salt and maple syrup and stir until all melted and smooth for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly…don't worry, just when you think it's not going to melt, it will come together as one big brown blob and it will be a bit thick.

  4. Take off heat and add the vanilla and cinnamon, stir until well combined

  5. Add the cereal, crushed apple chips and almonds and mix well until everything is well combined. Work fast…it sets up real quick

  6. Pour into prepared pan using a nonstick sprayed spatula or I sprayed my hands and work quickly pressing the cereal into the pan until leveled using your elbow grease to compact together.

  7. Let cool for a couple of hours before cutting them. Makes 8 large squares or 10 rectangle bars
