I love these bars! Whenever I prepare something for my children I like to add ingredients that will add something tasty, but also have nutritious ingredients. This recipe for Cheerios™ Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bars is the perfect example. They love them because the first thing they see is the chocolate, but they don't notice the Cheerios™, oatmeal and peanut butter. This is the only way they eat oats. A mother should make use of every trick, right? Enjoy!
