Instructions

1 Directions
2 Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
3 In a medium bowl, add almond butter and honey. Stir to combine.
4 Add oats, rice cereal, almonds, cherries, and chocolate. Stir until nut butter
is evenly distributed and mixture is sticky. (You may need to add an additional
tablespoon of honey or nut butter if the mixture isn’t coming together.)
5 Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Cover with more parchment or plastic
wrap. Use your hands, the back of a sturdy glass, or mug, to pack the mixture
evenly into the pan.
6 Chill in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Remove, slice into bars, and drizzle
with chocolate, if desired.
7 Optional chocolate drizzle: In a microwave safe bowl, combine ¼ cup dark
chocolate with ¼ teaspoon vegetable oil. Heat in 15 second increments, stirring
in between, until melted. Drizzle over sliced oat bars.
8 Store bars in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to three days.
