I first tried these not-too-sweet bars at my mother-in-law's house. A marshmallow, honey and peanut butter mixture is delicious over crunchy cereal, oats and nuts. Be sure to let the bars cool a bit before pressing the mini chocolate chips on top or they'll melt. -RosAnna Troyer Millersburg, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1-1/2 pounds miniature marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 4-1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 16 squares)
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
