This salty-sweet “snack cake” has a simple honey-peanut butter base (no added sugar needed), plus all your favorite snacks: crunchy cereal, crispy puffed rice, and salty peanuts, pretzels, and potato chips. Finish it with a dramatic drizzle of dark chocolate and cut into chunks for an after-school treat or larger slices for dessert.
