Sticky Crunch Granola Bars

A chewy, sticky granola bar with crispy rice cereal and hearty rolled oats. Brown sugar swapped for maple syrup; butter replaced with coconut oil. Adds pumpkin seeds for texture and a hint of sea salt on top. Melt maple syrup and coconut oil until gently bubbling, careful not to scorch. Press mixture firmly to avoid crumbly bars. Refrigerate to set solid. Works great for snacks or quick energy boosts. Brown sugar can be tricky to melt, maple syrup steadies sweetness and moisture. Use foil with overhang for effortless bar removal. Mini chocolate chips optional but add bursts of richness. Keep chill time flexible, texture firm but pliable when done.
