Homemade Treat Time

We have been cooking up a storm in our house. Every morning my kids want to make a new treat and I needed a new easy one that my young, 4 and 6 year old, kids could help make. I was looking for a recipe that is easy, quick and already had all the ingredients in my pantry. That’s when I remembered the Best No Bake Peanut Butter Bars!

I remembered that we use to make peanut butter bars like these when I was a kid. We only had Honey Nut Cheerios when we made ours but you could use any version of Cheerios. The best part is Cheerios are naturally gluten free so you don’t have to substitute anything. I always love when I can let me kids help cook so they can start to learn important skills in the kitchen! This recipe for No Bake Peanut Butter Bars is the perfect place to start with all your young chefs! Next stop Food Network.
