    If you enjoy making easy desserts or treats, you're going to love these easy cereal bars!

    My oldest kiddo only has a few weeks left of school, and she'll be done with finals in early May. In the meantime, she's got a lot of studying to do -- poor kid!

    I've been getting these ads in the mail for snacks that you can have delivered to your kids before finals, and while that sounds fun, the packages aren't cheap.

    So, I decided to make some chocolate peanut butter Cheerios bars to give to her. She loves anything homemade, and she loves the classic combo of chocolate and peanut butter. 

    How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Bars

    The chocolate peanut butter bars are super easy to make, and as usual, my younger ones helped out. They made me promise to make enough so that they could enjoy the tasty treats, as well.

    These no-bake treats consist of just five ingredients, and you can make them in less than 30 minutes.

    You just heat some honey and brown sugar, and then you mix all of the ingredients together.

    Then, you spread them in a baking dish, and let it cool. And, you're done. How easy is that?!

      Can these be made with reduced honey and/or sugar? Trying to cut back on sugars.

      Cheerios™ has always been a fan favorite in our house as well! These bars look delicious and I'm sure your daughter will appreciate getting her own box with the Give a Box promotion - especially during finals week! #client
