Honeyed Fiber Stacks

I created these little things today. My original thought was to make something as a little pick-me-up sort of snack. After tasting them, I realized these could be dessert! YOU MUST MAKE THEM! They're too easy not to try :)
 -1 c. Fiber One 80 Calories Cereal- Honey Squares
-1/2 c. Old Fashioned Oats 
-3 T. honey
-2 T. PB2
-1 t. water
-1 t. regular peanut butter
-1 T. chocolate chips (optional)
On wax paper





 Mix the cereal and the oats in a mixing bowl together. In a small dish, mix the PB2 and the honey. If it's not mixing well, add the water. Pour over cereal mixture and stir together. Stir in the regular peanut butter (this makes the cereal stay together better). Line a plate with wax paper. Scoop the mixture out onto wax paper in 8 equal portions. You may have to mold them together a little bit. You can either leave them like that, or you can incorporate the chocolate!
Without chocolate

Perfection!










If using the chocolate, put the chips in a small ziploc bag and melt for 20 seconds in the microwave. Smoosh together. If not melted yet, do another 10 seconds until melted. Cut the corner (a TINY corner) off of the bag. Squeeze the bag to drizzle chocolate over the stacks. Store in the refrigerator.


When I made these, I put them in the fridge for about oooooh 5 or so minutes and then tried them. What can I say? I have very little patience :) Anyway, they weren't totally set up yet. So, be strong and wait 20 minutes (or just eat one over a plate or something).
*These end up being about 80 calories a piece- that's with the chocolate! They also have about 2 g fiber, which isn't too bad considering they're only 80 calories and taste amazing :)
**If you don't have PB2, you can use regular peanut butter. Use 2 tablespoons and mix it with the honey before mixing it into the cereal. You don't need the additional 1 teaspoon. Using regular peanut butter will increase the calories, but they will still be delicious!
