Fruity Pebbles Milk ‘n’ Cereal Bars

Directions

1. Line two 9x9-in. square baking pans with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over at least one side of the pan; set aside.
2. Place Fruity Pebbles in a large heatproof bowl.
3. In a small saucepan set on medium heat, whisk together brown rice syrup, brown sugar and butter. Bring to a full boil; cook until syrup is foamy and slightly thickened, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Carefully pour over the Fruity Pebbles; stir to coat.
4. Divide mixture equally into the prepared pans. Flatten into an even layer. Chill until set, about 1 hour.
5. Meanwhile, to make the icing, in a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Use an offset spatula to spread the icing on top of the cereal bars in one of the pans.
6. Carefully remove the uniced cereal bars from the pan; sandwich on top of the iced bars. Press down gently to secure the layers together. Return to the refrigerator; chill up to 2 hours or until completely set.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 12 rectangles. Serve immediately.
