Easy...Fiber One Cereal & Granola Bar

I found a recipe on another blog & from Pinterest for 5 ingredient peanut butter granola bar but I adapted it a little to make my own.  I wanted to add Fiber One cereal because fiber is good for you but I also have some of the cereal that I need to use up before it expires. (I don't eat Fiber One as cereal, I use it to make Hungry Girl faux-fried chicken, onion rings and even faux-fried fish).

4 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup Fiber One Original cereal (crushed - I did this in the food processor - do not completely crush, just chop it up a bit)
1 cup peanut butter (melted in microwave) - I used regular peanut butter but I am sure any nut butter or natural peanut butter could be used - I didn't try this so not sure
3/4 cup honey (I used 1/2 cup honey and approx. 1/4 cup agave nectar) - ran out of honey - I also heated the honey a bit b/c it is much easier to work with.  The agave is a little runnier so I didn't heat it.
Cinnamon (a few dashes) - if I were to guess, around 1/4 tsp.  - You want a hint of it but don't want it overwhelming - just enough for someone to say, what is that...hmmm
1/4 cup - 1/2 cup of miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl, combine oats, Fiber One cereal, and half of the chocolate chips (approx 1/4 now and another 1/4 at the end)
Stir in melted peanut butter and honey and/or agave (I am not sure what using all agave would taste like but it would probably work just fine)
Sprinkle in the cinnamon
I added a little more chocolate chips b/c the first bit that I added melted from the warm honey & peanut butter which is why I said add half early and half later.  The melted chocolate made it taste awesome but I wanted a little bit of chips to show for appearance and texture.

I had to give it a pretty good stir and even used my hands so that the granola was evenly coated.  You want it to be pretty sticky/gooey so that the granola sticks together and forms bars when you cut them.  If it is too dry, add more melted peanut butter, honey and/or agave.

Line a 13x9 pan w/ foil and spray w/ cooking spray or use non-stick foil (this is what I used).  Pour in the granola and press down.  Cover & refrigerate for 1 hour.

This is what they look like when you pull them out of the fridge.  Had to cut myself one - OBVIOUSLY!! 

Lift the foil from the pan w/ the granola on it.  The foil makes the granola easy to just pull out and cut into bars.  I saw this trick from Martha Stewart, I believe.

Sorry they looked kind of clumped on here but I promise they are really good!

I originally was going to store the bars on my cake plate on my counter but they started to soften up a bit & kind of get a little crumbly so I put them back in the fridge in a plastic container.
