Created to use up a box of raisin bran cereal, this recipe adapts a classic no-bake bar. It combines crushed cereal with rolled oats, wheat germ, and allspice, bound together with a boiled mixture of peanut butter, honey, brown sugar, and milk. The mixture is pressed flat, cooled, and cut into neat rectangles for a speedy homemade treat. This version uses a simple peanut butter but can be adapted with different nut spreads.
