Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 cups whole grain cereal (like Cheerios or similar)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles

Instructions
 

Prepare the peanut butter mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

    Add flavor and texture: Mix in the vanilla extract and sea salt to enhance the flavor of the peanut butter mixture.

      Incorporate the cereal: Gently fold in the whole grain cereal, ensuring that each piece is coated in the peanut butter mixture.

        Add chocolate chips: Carefully stir in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.

          Shape the circles: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop even amounts of the cereal mixture onto the sheet, shaping them into circles or discs.

            Add optional toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or colorful sprinkles on top of the circles for added flair and taste.

              Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the circles are completely frozen.

                Store: Once frozen, transfer the circles to an airtight container or zip-top bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer.

                  Serve: Enjoy these delicious frozen treats straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack!
