No Bake Bars

With Valentine's Day just around the corner and kids having parties at school, I thought I would post some great easy treats to make.  I'll be posting more in the coming weeks before Valentine's Day.  I made these no bake bars with some Valentine M&M's that I had in the cupboard, and work well with any color for any occasion.

These are so quick and easy to make and a great treat for kids, and adults too!

No Bake Bars

4 Cups Multi-grain Cheerios (Plain works too)

2 Cups Dry Roasted Peanuts

2 Cups Crisp Rice Cereal

2 Cups M&Ms

1 Cup Corn Syrup

1 Cup Sugar

1 1/2 Cups Peanut Butter

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

In a large bowl mix together cheerios, peanuts, rice cereal, and M&Ms.  Set aside.  In a small saucepan, bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved.  Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter and vanilla.  Pour over cereal mixture, mixing well.  Pour into a well greased 15 x 10 in baking pan (or a 9x13 in pan like I did, they will just be thicker).  Let cool and set before cutting into.
