Milk and Cereal Bars

These little milk and cereal bars came from a memory I had of being in nursing school and eating cheerios bars as snacks while studying. Then I thought, “do they even make those anymore?” I think they do, but I just decided to make my own.

These are a peanut butter based bar, and I used Cheerios but you could really use any cereal that you think would go with peanut butter. I wouldn’t choose Fruit Loops, but you do you.

These are incredibly easy to make and I think would be a great alternative for your kiddos breakfast. Nothing fancy and sugary, but so yummy. I spread some plain yogurt over the top, but again, you do you.

Give these a go and let me know what you think! Also, let me know if you try Fruit Loops in these.

2. Combine the peanut butter and honey in a medium size sauce pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

3. Add in the dry cereal and stir until completely coated. Then press into the lined pan. Use a piece of parchment paper to press firmly down on the bars.
