Peanut Butter Cereal Bars

Combine the toasted oat cereal, cornflake cereal, and peanuts in a large bowl to create a crunchy base.

In a saucepan, melt the butter by heating it over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup to the saucepan, stirring until well combined. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat source and stir in peanut butter until it's fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture in the bowl, ensuring that every piece of cereal is coated. Press the coated cereal mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish, making sure it's evenly distributed.

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow it to set. Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into squares for serving
