Ready-to-eat cereal pieces joined together with a binder form a cereal matrix. Heating reduces the water activity of the exterior of the matrix while maintaining higher water activity in the internal portion. This method creates a chewy, reduced-density cereal bar with improved shelf life, and less compressive force will be needed to form the final product.
