Healthier Monster Cheerio Bars
These Healthier Monster Cheerio Bars are a Halloween treat alternative without all of the processed sugar you find in many Halloween treats!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ cup almond butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups Cheerios
- 20 candy eyeballs
- 1 ½ tablespoon chia seeds
Chocolate Almond Butter Glaze
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- ¼ cup + 4 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat coconut oil, almond butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir well.
- Add Cheerios and stir until combined.
- Line an 8×8 dish with parchment paper, pour Cheerio mixture in, spreading and patting it down so it sits evenly.
- Using a microwave-safe dish, heat all glaze ingredients, expect for cocoa powder, in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Add cocoa powder to the glaze and whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze evenly over Cheerio mixture.
- Arrange candy eyeballs along two opposite edges of the baking dish, leaving a little room between each pair so that you can cut them into bars once it has cooled.
- Cool in the fridge for at least one hour.
- Cut into 10 bars and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
*Instead of making the Chocolate Almond Butter Glaze, you can melt about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a small pot, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer it to a Ziploc bag. Then, cut a small hole on one of the sides so you can squeeze the chocolate out and decorate the monster bars how you like.
