# How to Make:

04 - Transfer cereal mixture to prepared pan and press firmly and evenly into an even layer.

06 - Drizzle protein mixture evenly over the cereal layer.
07 - Spoon small dollops of jelly over the protein drizzle. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl jelly and protein together, creating a marbled pattern.
08 - Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set completely.
09 - Lift bars out using parchment overhang and cut into 12 equal squares.
