Rice Krispies Granola Bars in 15 Minutes

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the puffed rice cereal and quick oats, stirring gently to ensure even distribution.
2. Add peanut butter, honey, and salt to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is glossy and smooth; do not let it boil.
3. Pour the warm binder over the dry mixture and fold with a spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
4. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes, then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
5. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch baking pan using a spoon or piece of parchment paper.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Lift the parchment paper and slice into 9 equal rectangles.
