Cranberry Butterscotch Squares
Ingredients
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp wheat germ
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Using parchment paper, line an 8 X 8 baking pan, making sure to have an overhang on two sides of pan.
- In large bowl, mix puffed cereal, butterscotch chips, walnuts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and wheat germ together.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until dissolved and pourable. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well until all is coated.
- Pour the mixture into the parchment-lined pan. Press firmly to flatten so that it reaches all sides of the pan and is compressed down.
- Let cool 1-2 hours, or until firm. Cut into squares (should make 12-16 squares depending on how big you cut them). Enjoy!
