Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats Prefer rolled over instant oats for the best texture.
  • 2 cups Crispy Rice Cereal No need for substitutes if you're after the classic taste.
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Easily made by crushing whole graham crackers.
For the Binding Mixture
  • ½ cup Butter Can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.

  • ½ cup Honey Swap for maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt Keep it to a minimum for perfectly balanced sweetness.
For the Sweet Finish
  • 1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Consider dark chocolate pieces for a healthier take.
  • 1 cup Colorful Cereal Marshmallows Regular mini marshmallows can be used as a substitute.
