A serial challenge

A few days ago I decided to challenge myself to create a cereal bar recipe from scratch, that would be both healthy and slightly luxurious, and of course - low in propoints. It's taken me a while to blog my results, because I wasn't 100% sure I was happy with my creation. It didn't set as well as I would have liked, but as I have a feeling that would require either more chocolate or more fat or both, it wasn't an option either.

Fortunately the freezer came to the rescue, as I discovered that not only do these develop just the right consistency when frozen, but they are really delicious like that as well. So here comes the recipe...

INGREDIENTS

50g jumbo oats
50g branflakes
30g cornflakes
40g low fat spread, melted
40g chocolate chips
1 tblspn peanut butter, reduced fat
50g honey

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and crush slightly with the end of a rolling pin. Stir in the melted spread, honey and peanut butter until well coated and finally stir in the chocolate chips. Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge and then divide into 12 equal balls. Wrap each ball loosely in clingfilm and using your hands, shape them inside the wrap into a cereal bar shape. Then tighten the clingfilm so they are properly enclosed. Freeze until hard, and enjoy. 2pp per bar, or 5pp for two. Nice for a snack, a dessert or even a breakfast on the go!
