This is a recipe the whole family will like because you put in their favorite cereal! great for kids in the kitchen.

Ingredients:

this is a recipe we came up with to replace the cereal bars sold in stores because they all contain trace amounts of almonds for some reason and my 8 yr old has a treenut allergy.

3 cups of cereal- this is great to use up the ends of all the boxes of cereal in your pantry...it is better if you use 3 different kinds but totally up to you. we have used, rice crispies,kix,reeses peanut butter,cookie crist, cheerios. for a more healthy option 2 1/2 cups of cereal and 1/2 cup of wheat germ.

2 cups quick cooking oats

1 can sweetened condensed milk

3/4 cup peanut butter chips

3/4 cup chocolate chips

these are the chips my kids like but we have used butterscotch or vanilla -whatever is in the pantry.

2 tablespoons of melted butter

cooking spray (pam)

Directions:

1. I used a 9 X 13 pan spray very very well with pam- if not you will never get them out :)
2. get a extra large mixing bowl and add all the ingredients. I usually let the kids do this pour a cup of their fav in the bowl.
3. mix all together
4. spray the kids hands with pam
5. and let them press the mixture into the pan.
6. bake on 350 , if you like the cereal bars crispy bake a little longer.
