Baby Bites – Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars

One thing I am super thankful for with daycare is how many different foods they introduce to boo.  They have an amazing breakfast, lunch and snack menu every week, and I love the variety and different things he gets to try.

The only thing they ask of us is to bring their 4pm snack — if the child will be there by then.  Since most of the time B and I don’t get off work until 4, he needs that snack.  Most of the time, I try to make sure it’s something semi-nutritious (this month it’s utz mini-cheeseballs for the win.  I am so winning at this mom stuff), so I’ll look for recipes that are simple and have some sort of nutritional value.  So when I found this three ingredient GENIUS of a snack, I made them immediately.

(recipe from passionforsavings.com)

What you need:

// 1/2 cup honey

// 3/4 cup peanut butter

// 3 cups Cheerios

What to do:

// Line 8×8 pan with foil.  Set aside

// Cook PB and honey over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and blended.

// Remove from heat and stir in Cheerios.  Mix until evenly coated.

// Put mixture into pan and press in place.  Refrigerate for an hour before cutting into bars.  Store any remaining in fridge.

These are so good that I have snuck a few for breakfast — they usually keep me full until lunch time!  I hope y’all have a great weekend!  Maybe make these bars while you’re at it!!
