- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Toss carefully with a wooden spoon until all of the cereal is covered.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9 x 13 inch pan and press down gently. Cool for about 20 minutes.

Notes
If you want you can even put the chocolate in a little ziploc bag to drizzle it. Using a cup place the ziploc bag over the rim of the cup and pour the chocolate into the bag, cut a small hole in a corner, and use that to easily drizzle the chocolate over the bars.
