Gluten Free Cereal Bars
Gluten free cereal bars - I saw the Nature's Valley Sunrise Vanilla cereal at the grocery store and thought, let's use this instead of rice krispies! Yes, chewy cereal bars. They're so good. Crunchy, and I love the corn puffs. So much fun. Okay, let's get baking!
Servings: 24 bars
Ingredients
- stick of salted butter
- 15 oz of marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons of vanilla
- 8 cups GF cereal (I used Nature’s Path Sunrise Vanilla)
Instructions
- First, start with your favourite morning cereal (I trust you have a different favourite for after work snacks, and even one that you sometimes eat for dinner?!). For this recipe I’m going with Sunrise Vanilla.
- Next, get out a large pan – 9×13 and give it a quick spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Then, in a large pot melt the stick of butter and add in the 15 oz of marshmallows. Stir with a spoon on medium to low heat until the mallows are melted. Then add in the vanilla.
- Once the butter and marshmallows are all melted, and the vanilla added, dump in the 8 cups of cereal – stir quickly – you want to work while it’s warm.
- Oh, and if you’re looking for an added chewiness, then add in 1 cup of mini-mini marshmallows at this point and stir quickly – they’ll be some left whole for that added chew.
- Once it’s well mixed press into the pan and let it cool for at least 2 hours in the fridges. Don’t forget to cover it.
- Also – if you’re looking for an added treat, press chocolate chips, skor bits, or sprinkles into the top of the cereal bars while they’re still a bit warm.
- After they’re chilled, cut up into bars.
