Peanut Butter and Jelly Cereal Bars
Peanut Butter and Jelly Cereal Bars with just five ingredients are the easiest no-bake school lunch snack your kids will LOVE!
Peanut Butter and Jelly Cereal Bars are a huge hit around here. We make an entire pan of them and send them with the kids to their preschool as a once a month snack/treat. This post is part of a series of sponsored posts thanks to Peanut Butter & Co. who makes all natural peanut butter that is The Bees Knees! <– Yes, I’m corny, that is the name of the flavor I used. Ha!
Each month I experiment with new mix-ins (listed below) but these strawberry jelly candies are always the most popular ones! And they couldn’t be easier to make. Since they’re so easy to make I actually make these WITH the kids. 
Want to include your kids in making these Peanut Butter and Jelly Cereal Bars? Give them plastic knives and let them cut the gummies. Let them measure the cups of cereal (the measurement doesn’t need to be exact).
We absolutely love handheld snacks because of the quick cleanup and because we get to skip the “Mommmmmy I dropped my forrrrrk!!!” conversation.
