Chocolate-Cherry Snack Bars

Servings: 16 bars
Serving Size: 1 bar
Total Time: 1 hour and 50 minutes

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups unsweetened puffed wheat cereal


3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips or finely chopped bittersweet chocolate

Directions:
1. Position a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 300F. Line an 8-inch-square pan with
parchment paper, letting it overhang on two opposite sides.
2. Toss cereal, oats and dried cherries (or cranberries) in a large bowl.
3. Combine honey, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring,
until the honey is more fluid and the salt is dissolved. Pour the honey mixture over the
dry ingredients and fold until everything is moistened and sticky. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Fold in chips (or chopped chocolate) until evenly distributed. Scrape the mixture into the
prepared pan and spread evenly with a fork. Using the back of the fork, press the mixture
very firmly all over. (Alternatively, cover with parchment paper and press firmly all
over.)
4. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 35 minutes. (If in doubt, take it out so the
honey does not burn.) Run a knife along the unlined sides of the pan to detach the bars.
Let cool in the pan on a wire rack to room temperature, about 1 hour. Use the ends of the
parchment to lift the bars from the pan. Gently peel off the parchment. Use a heavy sharp
knife to cut into 16 bars or squares

salt onto the kale leaves to evenly coat. Fill 2 large rimmed baking sheets with a layer of
kale, making sure the leaves dont overlap. (If the kale wont all fit, make the chips in
batches.)

halfway through, 8 to 12 minutes total. (If baking a batch on just one sheet, start checking
