Almond Butter Bars

[Ennis-TX]

These were like the insides of butter finger but gooier, can not eat them anymore, especially since they stopped making sugar free coconut flake cereal. Last time I made them with xylitol sugar free honey,  lakanto sugar free golden, and that grain free cereal was last year. Figured I would share the missed love so someone else can have them.

Almond Butter Bars

1/4cup (60g) Agave
1tbsp (15g) molasses
3 1/2tbsp coconut sugar (40g)
1cup smooth almond butter (225-240g)
1 1/2 cup (56g) flake cereal (Buckwheat, corn, or coconut flake)
1/8tsp salt

1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small sauce pan and brink to a boil on medium heat.
2. Boil about a min stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
3. Add almond butter and salt and stir into a paste
4. Add the cereal and stir well to coat, partially crushing the cereal flakes as you stir. Make sure they are evenly coated.
5. Press into a 8x8 pan that lined with parchment paper and place in freezer. After 30-40 min cut into bars before it completely hardens, then return to freezer.

So, if I were to make this with white sugar, how much would you recommend? 

Can you substitute the almond butter from peanut butter?

what cereal do you recommend? A regular style that would be at a standard grocery store I mean, not something I'd have to order  I'm lazy like that. 

Sorry to massacre your recipe. Wish you were in NC and my neighbor so I could just buy your stuff.

Try using the same amount for sugars, and I imagine peanut butter would work as for the cereal you use a flake type, I used coconut flakes, I used buckwheat flakes before, I guess corn flakes would work. You want the flake cereal for the layer effect to replicate butter fingers. Brown sugar would work better then white btw. You want that deep mellow earthly flavor of a brown or coconut sugar it adds to the caramel like deep nutty flavor.
