If you're "Team Nutella", these cereal bars are your new mascot.

Ingredients

You'll find a complete list of ingredients and their exact amounts in the recipe card at the end of the post.

• chocolate grain-free/no refined sugar cereal
• dessert spread
• honey
• coconut oil
• brown coconut sugar
• alcohol-free vanilla extract
• dairy-free chocolate chips

Flavor Variations

• You can substitute your favorite cereal equally for the grain-free/no refined sugar cereal, and substitute regular butter for the coconut oil, if desired.
• Another way to truly customize this recipe to your liking is by adding freeze-dried fruit, using your favorite nut butter instead of the dessert spread, or switching to a different cereal flavor (try cinnamon cereal!)

How to Make Gluten and Dairy Free Healthy No-Bake Nutella Bars

• Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, and spray sides with non-stick baking spray (optional, for best result)
• Place cereal in a large bowl.
• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the remaining ingredients until melted, stirring often.
• Pour mixture into a bowl with cereal and stir well.
• Add cereal mixture to prepared pan and press down evenly and firmly to set mixture in pan, with a rubber spatula.

Cereal bar drizzle:

• In the microwave, heat chocolate and coconut oil until melted.
• Stir well.
• Drizzle over bars.

Storage

Store bars in the refrigerator, in an airtight container for 5 days. Although, unsliced cereal bars will store better, if the bars have already been sliced make sure to individually wrap them in plastic wrap and place the wrapped bars inside the airtight container.
