Crunchy Honeycomb Cereal Bars
If you’re looking for an easy, no-bake snack that’s equal parts crunchy, chewy, and sweet, these Crunchy Honeycomb Cereal Bars are just what you need!
Made with classic Honeycomb cereal, a gooey caramel mixture, with peanuts and popcorn, these bars come together in no time and are perfect for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or even a quick dessert.
I found this recipe on the Post Consumer Brands website when I was looking for ways to use up my box of Honeycomb cereal, and it turned out to be a delicious and simple solution!
Why You’ll Love These Bars
There’s something nostalgic about cereal bars, and this version made with Honeycomb cereal adds an extra satisfying crunch. Whether you’re making them for a family gathering, a bake sale, or just because you have a sweet tooth, these bars are always a hit. Plus, they require just a few pantry staples and no oven time—win-win!
Other cereal bars, such as classic Rice Krispie Bars and Cheerios bars, offer different textures and flavors but share the same easy, no-bake appeal.
These bars store well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, pop them in the fridge for an even firmer texture. But I really can’t imagine they will be around that long!
Crunchy Honeycomb Cereal Bars are a simple yet delicious treat that will bring out your inner child.
Whether you’re making them for a snack, a dessert, or a fun baking project with kids, they’re sure to be a favorite.
Give them a try and let me know how you like them!
What are Crunchy Honeycomb Cereal Bars?
Crunchy Honeycomb Cereal Bars are no-bake snack bars made with Honeycomb cereal, a sticky-sweet binding mixture (like melted marshmallows, peanut butter, corn syrup or honey), and additional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
These bars are similar to classic cereal treats but have a crunchier texture due to the shape and structure of the Honeycomb cereal.
