I’m always looking for great snacks that my kid and her friends can come in and grab. Now that school is out, I feel like I’m feeding the neighborhood on a regular basis.
They usually enjoy my cupcakes and cake pops, but I want to give them more than just sugar and frosting.
So, when I came across some fun and easy no-bake granola bars, I thought that they would be great for an easy snack. I first saw them HERE which lead me to THERE and then I adapted it a bit.
I used Chocolate Rice Krispies and then added a coating of Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
I also added some raisins which really made them soft and chewy.
The kids LOVED them and so did I. Next time, I’m going to double the recipe so I have more on hand.
They just went too quickly.
You can add some nuts or some flax seeds to add even more healthy ingredients.
I definitely plan on making these again.
