Prepare the dry ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and crisp rice cereal.

Make the syrup – In a saucepan, melt butter, honey, and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Combine – Pour the warm mixture over the oats and cereal. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

Add chocolate chips – Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in the mini chocolate chips (so they don’t melt completely).

Press into pan – Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Firmly press the mixture into the pan, smoothing the top.

Set and cut – Allow to cool and firm up (you can refrigerate for quicker setting). Slice into bars and enjoy!
