You know how kids are always hungry…even though they just ate approximately 63 minutes ago. All of a sudden hunger pangs are overtaking them and they can’t do another thing until they’ve eaten again. This is the story of my life. And after suggesting bananas, cheese sticks and various crackers, we need something new and exciting every now and then. Well, here is this week’s snack attack answer…Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. A fine way to get your chocolate peanut butter fix and use up the cereal that no one actually eats for breakfast.
I think these would be fantastic with almost any kind of cereal you have in your pantry. I wanted them to chill quicker than the fridge, so I stuck them in the freezer for about 20 minutes so I could feed them to a few ravenous children. They store beautifully in the fridge and are the perfect combo of crispy and fudge-y peanut butter goodness.
