A hearty take on rice crispy treats, these no-bake cereal bars combine melted marshmallow and chocolate as a coating for raisin bran cereal which is packed into a pan and cooled, then cut into delicious dessert bars!
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
Add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
Remove pan from the heat and stir in the vinegar.
Add the raisin bran and mini chocolate chips and stir until chocolate chips are completed melted and cereal is coated with the marshmallow chocolate mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and press into an even layer.
Let cool (for at least 30 minutes) before cutting into 36 bars.
Store any leftover cereal bars in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes
You might be thinking it a little strange to be including apple cider vinegar when making these dessert squares. But the recipe only requires a tiny amount and you won't want to skip it because the cider vinegar slightly cuts the overall sweetness and really brings out the flavor of the raisins.And who can deny the special flavor combination of chocolate and chewy raisins?If your cereal flakes are on the large side, you can crush them slightly before stirring into the melted marshmallow. I left them whole as we prefer the larger crunchy flakes.Serving size: 1 raisin bran squareTo see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and/or track it in the WW app or site, click here!5*SmartPoints (Green plan)5*SmartPoints (Blue plan)5*SmartPoints (Purple plan)3*PointsPlus (Old plan)
