No Bake Rice Krispies Granola Bars for 12

Instructions:

1. Combine crisp rice cereal, quick cooking oats, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and salt in your large bowl. Stir gently so you don't smash the cereal.
2. Pour the creamy natural peanut butter and raw honey into your saucepan.
3. Heat over medium low for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fluid, glossy, and bubbles slightly.
4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the pure vanilla extract. Note: Adding vanilla at the end keeps the flavor from evaporating.
5. Pour the warm binder over your dry mix. Fold gently with your spatula until every oat is coated.
6. Let the mixture sit for about 60 seconds.
7. Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until they are just softening but still hold their shape.
8. Line your 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper and transfer the mixture inside.
9. Press down firmly with the bottom of a glass until the surface is flat and compact.
10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once firm, slice into 12 equal bars.
