No Bake Peanut Butter Cheerios Bars
This peanut butter Cheerios bars recipe has 4 simple ingredients, and are quick and easy no-bake peanut butter bars that are a perfect grab and go snack!
I wanted to use the box of Cheerios cereal I had on hand to make a snack or dessert of some kind.
Then I realized that it would be so quick and easy to make cereal bars out of them with only a few ingredients that were already lying around the house: Cheerios (duh), peanut butter, honey and chocolate chips.
I'm sort of in love with these, and I'm fairly sure that the ease of making them is contributing to why this is going to become a default go-to at home.
And even better is that if you use Honey Nut Cheerios, you could decrease the amount of honey in the recipe. Or if you really love honey, keep it in! I'm not going to tell you how to live your life.
Ingredients for peanut butter Cheerios bars

How to make peanut butter Cheerios bars

- Stir that mixture in a bowl with the Cheerios™ and chocolate chips

The end! How easy is that?!
I sliced mine up into 9 large bars, but you could easily slice them into more than that if you're looking to make them more granola bar-sized to grab and go.

This looks like a great after school snack!
They’re really yummy!
What a great idea! I’d love to share a box with my brother. We were partners in crime growing up and now that we live on opposite coasts we don’t get to see each other much. This would be a fun surprise! (client)
I love that idea!
