Easy No Bake Pumpkin Spice Cereal Bars

Earlier this week, the boys and I decided to make a tasty fall treat after school.  Since the time between after school and dinner can be a little rushed, we needed our treat to be quick... insert pumpkin spice cereal bars. Only three ingredients and zero bake time! SKIP TO THE END FOR THE RECIPE.

After picking up Jayden from the bus, we made a quick run to Stop & Shop for Pumpkin Spice Cheerios and a few other things on our list. Let me stop here for a second, have you tried them yet?  If not, you're missing out and you should STOP immediately and run out and grab a box (or three)… they are that good! Way better than other brands I’ve tried in the past.

While at Stop & Shop we also snagged our first copy of "Savory".  Savory is Stop & Shop’s monthly magazine with amazing recipes (online Issue of Savory), just as good as the food magazines you would purchase for $5+ and it’s FREE with your Stop & Shop Rewards Card (also free).

Shopping List: 

• Pumpkin Spice Cheerios

• Mini Marshmellows

• Butter

• Cinnamon

That's all you need! Melt the marshmallows and butter, add the cinnamon, pour in the cheerios and mix all together. Then spread all into a buttered dish and let sit. until firm.  

BONUS: While the treat firms up, use construction paper and practice tracing letters with cheerios. The kids are excited about their upcoming treat, but also occupied and you might (might) get a chance to take a sip of your afternoon coffee, while it's still hot. #momwin #stopandshop

RECIPE:

6 cups of pumpkin spice cheerios

1 bag of mini marshmallows (I recommend the mini as the melt quickly)

1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions:

Add butter and marshmallows to a large pot and heat until melted over medium heat, stir continuous.

Stir in cinnamon.

Add cheerios

Add cheerio mixture to a greased baking dish, spread evenly.

Top with wax paper and pack in with your hands.

Let sit until completely cooled. Cut, serve and enjoy.

PRO TIP: Put in the fridge for 30 min and it firms up quick! Remove, cut into squares and enjoy!
