Honey Nut Cherrios Peanut Butter Bars (recipe)

We are a cereal family. I love cereal. My husband loves cereal. The kids love cereal.
We eat it for breakfast...and snacks.
But I wanted to come up with a new way to eat cereal...
something to eat on the go and great for snacking at school.

    1. Jasmine - You come up as a no-rely blogger...so I could not email you...hope you see this:
      I suppose there are substitutes for the marshmallows. I have not experimented with this at all. I make these cherry nut cups that use melted chocolate to hold them together.
