Preheat your oven to 350F.
Add the cereal to your food processor and blend until you have a flour like consistency (I like to leave some chunks for more texture).
Transfer the cereal flour to a bowl and add the other cereal layer ingredients. Stir well until you have a sticky consistency.
Line an 8" x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the cereal layer to the pan. Press down evenly until you have an even layer. Bake for 12 minutes and then cool for a few minutes.

While the cereal layer is cooling, place a small or medium pot on the stove and add the peanut butter layer ingredients. Heat on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to combine all the ingredients until they are smooth.
Pour the peanut butter layer over the cereal layer and then place the pan in the freezer for 2 hours, to harden the peanut butter layer.
Once the peanut butter layer has hardened, remove the pan from the freezer and pull the parchment paper out of the pan with the bars on it. Cut the bars into 12 pieces (or as many as you like).

Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe dish by heating it on high in 30 second intervals until melted.
Place each bar into the melted chocolate and cover it completely in the chocolate. Then return the bar to the pan and lean it on the edge of the pan. When all the bars are coated in chocolate, place the pan back in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden the chocolate.

Store these bars in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 14 days.
