Before you begin mixing your ingredients, it's essential to prepare your pan properly. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This step is crucial as it creates a non-stick surface, enabling you to remove the bars easily after they have set. The parchment paper also helps maintain the shape of the bars, ensuring they look just as good as they taste.

Ingredients
  

3 cups chocolate rice cereal (such as Cocoa Puffs or chocolate Cheerios)

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 cup milk chocolate chips

½ cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

A sprinkle of sea salt (optional)

Additional mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Pan: Start by lining a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Leave a bit of overhang on the sides to make removing the bars easier later on.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate rice cereal, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs. Use a gentle folding motion to mix, being careful not to crush the cereal.

      Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each interval until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry cereal mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to quickly stir everything together, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated with the chocolate mixture.

          Transfer to the Dish: Spoon the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spatula or your hands (dampened to prevent sticking) to press the mixture down firmly into an even layer. Top with extra mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs, and if you like, sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top for added flavor.

            Freeze the Mixture: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, then place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to slice into bars.

              Cut and Enjoy: After the mixture has fully frozen, use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Cut into bars or clusters of your preferred size. Enjoy these delicious frozen treats straight from the freezer!
