Muesli Bars are a lunch box staple for my kids, and if they had it their way, they would eat 2 – 3 of them every single day.  As you can imagine, buying enough muesli bars to feed all three of my boys can be an expensive exercise, which is why I like to make my own – You may also like to check out this post which contains 101 lunch box ideas and recipes for kids.

Tips for making these no bake Choc Chip Muesli Bars

• It’s important to cook the honey mixture 10 minutes at least, to ensure it thickens.
• Your mixture will be quite sticky, this is  normal. These muesli bars may also be a little sticky at the base once set.
• It’s also important to make sure you push the slice into the baking tray well, you want it to be tightly pack as this will also help the muesli bars to stay together once set.
• You can also use rice bubbles instead of puffed rice for this recipe.
• These muesli bars are best stored in an airtight container in your fridge for up to seven days.
