1 Minute, No Bake, Chocolatey Cereal Bites

Yet another version of my 1 Minute, No Bake, Cereal Bar and 1 Minute, No Bake, Cocoa Delicacy. This one sets up firmer than the other two and is less sweet.

• Ready In: 6 mins
• Serves: 24

Ingredients

• 3  biscuits  shredded wheat cereal (or 1 1/2 cups crushed)
• 1  cup  instant oats
• 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
• 1⁄3 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
• 1⁄3 cup honey or 1⁄3 cup corn syrup
• 1⁄4 cup peanut butter (or other seed or nut butter, sunflower is particularly good in this recipe)
• 1⁄4 cup  orange juice (or other liquid)

Directions

1. Line a tiny cookie sheet with waxed paper or greased plastic wrap that is twice as long as the sheet.
2. In package, crush the Shredded Wheat. Combine with oats and cocoa.
3. In a small saucepan, bring brown sugar, corn syrup, peanut butter and orange juice to a rolling boil. Without stirring or reducing heat, boil for 1 minute.
4. Immediately add cereal/cocoa mixture. Stir until evenly coated.
5. Pour onto prepared cookie sheet and fold the rest of the paper over top; pack firmly using a rolling pin or hands (be careful, the mix in very hot).
