Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a big bowl, mix together the brown sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup, applesauce, and vanilla until everything’s well combined. In another bowl, toss the oats, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, cereal rings, and wheat germ together. Add the dry mix to the peanut butter mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into your prepared pan. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges start to turn a light golden color. Let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
