Instructions

  1. 1

    In a microwave safe bowl, combine honey and peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds to soften the peanut butter, creating a runny consistency. Add vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, puffed rice cereal, shredded coconut, salt, cinnamon, almonds, and freeze dried strawberries.

  3. 3

    Pour peanut butter/honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir to combine. It may help to use your hands to ensure everything is fully mixed.

  4. 4

    Press the mix into a parchment paper lined, 8-inch square pan. This is essential to ensuring the bars stay together. Freeze for at least 2 hours.

  5. 5

    Once the bars are frozen, gently slice into 16 equal-sized granola bars.

  6. 6

    To make the yogurt coating, whisk together Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk.

  7. 7

    Dip the top of each granola bar into the yogurt coating and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with additional freeze-dried strawberries if desired. Store in the freezer!
