Cereal bars are a great option for an after-school snack, or a mid-morning snack for us adults! These are all-natural and are no-bake, so it only takes a couple of minutes to put them together.

You could mix the honey and peanut butter by simply adding them into your cereal mix, but it will be much easier to incorporate if you heat them up first. It only takes a moment. Make sure you use bee honey and not maple syrup since it is much runnier and your bars won’t hold their shape.

We used creamy peanut butter from the store to make our bars. It has a nice creamy texture which also helps our bars hold their shape. We recommend that you use unsweetened cereal, such as regular Cheerios or other oat cereal that doesn’t have any honey flavoring added to it. This will make the bars too sweet.  Puffed rice cereal would also work wonderfully!

We added Nau Baked Nuts with Raisins and Yogurt drops because they are the perfect addition to this mix. These lasted one day at our house! We are sure your family will love them too. Keep them in the fridge in an airtight container. This keeps the peanut butter and honey firm to they keep their shape well.
