Notes

For best results, wrap each of the cereal bars in parchment paper or plastic wrap so that they don't stick together. You can also just place a sheet of parchment paper between the layers you stack in an airtight container.

Store at room temperature for 3-4 days or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. If stored in the fridge, allow the bars to sit out for a few minutes before consuming so that they soften a bit.
