Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Food Processor or mallet and freezer zip top bag

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups Catalina Crunch Cereal : Honey Graham Flavor or any other flavor. See below for ordering.
  • 2 batches Keto Sweetened Condensed Milk (recipe link below)
  • 6 oz Sugar Free Chocolate Chips see below for a link to my favorite brand
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped nuts or additional mix-ins optional, I did not use.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325 F and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Cover pan with parchment or foil so that there is excess at the edges to lift it out.
  • In a food processor, process your Catalina Crunch Cereal into small little bits. You can alternately put it in a large freezer bag and pound with a mallet or rolling pin.
  • Now pour your cereal crumbs into a large mixing bowl with your dark chocolate chips. You will need to pour the double batch of my Keto Sweetened Condensed milk over all the cereal and chocolate chips.
  • If you want to skip the bowl and spoon, you can certainly use an electric mixer. Take your time and fold them together.
  • Run your spoon or spatula down the side of the bowl and pull up through the middle.
  • Once the batter comes together, put half of batter in half of the prepared pan. Start pressing it out to the corners.
  • Now add the rest of the batter in the other half of the pan and press to the corners. It should naturally spread out to connect in the middle.
  • Now bake the gold rush bars for 25-30 minutes until they are set and golden brown.
  • Cool pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Lift foil or parchment paper up and place on a cutting surface.
  • With a sharp knife, cut into 16 pieces with 3 cuts each way. Store bars up to 2 weeks on the counter without any problem.
  • You can also freeze them if you wish by laying the cut pieces on a baking sheet, freezing for 1 hour, then transferring to a freezer bag. They will keep up to 3 months this way. Maybe longer if you wrap each square in plastic wrap before putting into the freezer bag.
