30 minThese raisin nut cereal bars take the beloved crispy treat concept and give it a wholesome twist with raisin bran cereal, warm cinnamon, and crunchy nuts. The melted marshmallow base holds everything together in chewy, satisfying squares that taste far more indulgent than they are.
No oven required here. Just melt, stir, press into a pan, and you have a batch of homemade cereal bars ready in about 15 minutes.
Kitchen Tips
- Butter your hands or a spatula before pressing the mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
- Work quickly once the marshmallows are melted, as the mixture firms up fast.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting for the cleanest slices.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Variations
- Swap raisin bran for any favorite cereal: Cheerios, Chex, or granola clusters all work well.
- Drizzle melted chocolate or peanut butter over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
- Add dried cranberries, coconut flakes, or sunflower seeds for different texture and taste.
