In a large bowl, combine cereal, oats, wheat germ, and any additional “dry” mix-ins.
In a saucepan, mix the honey, brown sugar, and salt, string over medium heat until the mixture comes to a complete boil for 30-60 seconds.
Remove pan from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
Pour liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then mix in the chocolate chips.
Press into a greased 9×13 pan and let cool before cutting into bars.
Enjoy bars within a few days or freeze for later.
Possible Substitutions:
- Substitute any type of puffed rice cereal for the Rice Krispies
- Use ground flax seed, wheat bran, or additional oats in place of wheat germ
- Add in a 1/2 cup of your favorite dried fruit, nuts, or seeds for a little extra crunch
- Experiment with various types of nut butter, sun butter, or similar products
- Try white chocolate chips instead of chocolate (especially tasty with dried cranberries)
