Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen For an easy on-the-go treat, try these slightly sweet bars that are full of texture, thanks to crushed whole-grain flake and puffed rice cereals, unsalted peanuts and dried cranberries.

Ingredients

2 c. slightly crushed whole-grain flake cereal (we used Kashi)
2 c. whole-grain puffed rice cereal (we used Arrowhead Mills)
1 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. unsalted cocktail peanuts
1/2 c. reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. packed light-brown sugar
1/2 c. honey
1 tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions

Line a 13 x 9-in. baking pan with nonstick foil (let the foil extend about 2 in. above pan at both ends).
Mix cereals, cranberries and peanuts in a large bowl.
Mix peanut butter, sugar, honey and butter in a 2-qt saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly; simmer for 1 minute.
Immediately stir into cereal mixture, tossing to evenly coat. Coat hands with cooking spray, then use them to spread and press the mixture in prepared pan. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
Holding foil by ends, lift from pan onto a cutting board. Carefully cut lengthwise in 4 strips and then cut each strip in 6; remove foil.
