In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and puffed rice cereal. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat up wet ingredients.<\/strong> In a small saucepan on medium-high heat, whisk together the almond butter, honey and coconut oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, continually whisking, and allow mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes on low heat. Remove mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine the oat mixture.<\/strong> Pour mixture over the dry oat mixture and fold together so everything is evenly coated. Stir in one tablespoon of chocolate chips and transfer to a prepared 9\u00d713-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Press into the pan.<\/strong> Press the granola mixture firmly into the prepared pan. I used extra parchment paper to press down to avoid the granola from sticking to my fingers. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over top, lightly pressing them into the mixture, and top with a little sea salt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refrigerate. <\/strong>Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Once bars are set and firm, lift the parchment paper so that bars are easily removed from the baking dish and slice into 18 bars.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1132\" height=\"1571\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"These No Bake Almond Butter Granola Bars are a wholesome, delicious snack that easily comes together in just 15 minutes using simple pantry ingredients!

Spoon the oats into your measuring cup and level them off rather than packing them down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boil the mixture for 2 minutes<\/strong> \u2013 I found that this is really the secret to helping these bars stick together. Make sure to whisk constantly so that the bottom of the peanut butter doesn\u2019t burn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Press firmly into the pan<\/strong> \u2013 this is one of the most important steps to ensure your bars set properly and hold together. I like to use a little parchment paper to evenly press down on the bars and help prevent the mixture from sticking to my hands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t skip the salt <\/strong>\u2013 sprinkling a little sea salt at the end is essential! It enhances the sweetness, balances the flavors and prevents the bars from tasting flat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chill long enough to set<\/strong> \u2013 these bars need to chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge to give them time to firm up, but feel free to let them chill even longer. Slicing them too early will cause them to crumble.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1824\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"These No Bake Almond Butter Granola Bars are a wholesome, delicious snack that easily comes together in just 15 minutes using simple pantry ingredients!

I like to place a piece of parchment paper between the layers when stacking them to prevent them from sticking together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>To Freeze:<\/strong> These bars can be stored in the freezer for up to <strong>3 months<\/strong> making them great for meal prep!
