Kit Kat Bars (5 Ingredients)

Directions

1. Line an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20 cm) baking dish or deep tray with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl or over a stovetop double boiler, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Heat until fully melted, stirring occasionally.
4. Once melted, whisk the mixture until smooth and completely incorporated.
5. Pour the melted mixture over the Rice Chex cereal and gently fold until all the cereal is evenly coated.
6. Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down lightly to compact the mixture.
7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
8. Remove from the fridge, lift the parchment paper, and cut into bars of your desired size.
9. Serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.
