Leftover cereal bars are a delicious and easy way to use excess cereal creatively. Adding coconut is perfect for those who want to take their cereal bars up a notch. Coconut is naturally sweet and flavourful, making it the perfect addition to any dessert. Rich in flavor, these coconutty leftover cereal bars are sure to be a hit with everyone.

This simple recipe only requires six ingredients: your favorite type of leftover cereal, butter, honey, golden syrup, brown sugar, and shredded coconut flakes. You must melt the butter or margarine in a pot over low heat and add the brown sugar. Next, stir in the shredded coconut flakes and mix until everything is evenly distributed. Now add the leftover cereal and mix until everything is combined.

Once everything is mixed well, spread it into an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees or until golden brown. Once cooled completely, cut into bars and enjoy. These decadent, rich coconutty leftover cereal bars will soon become everyone’s go-to snack whenever leftovers are lying around the house.
