Cereal bars are one of the ultimate forms of comfort food. Cereal mixed with sugary goodness is an indulgent recipe for those of any age, but particularly for little hands. There are lots of different recipes available. This particular one uses mostly unsugared cereal, but then adds in a hefty dose of sweetness. This definitely isn’t the sort of treat to make on a regular basis, but everything in moderation, right?
Using Rice Chex, Corn Flakes, and Rice Krispies this treat left me with several half boxes of cereal leftover, which my little fellas were happy to devour. Cereal can be a hot commodity at my house and those three types are no exception.
This recipe freezes quite well and I really recommend sticking them in the refrigerator or freezer to help them solidify a bit better.
