Homemade cereal bars are the best for school! Since they’re easy to carry, they’re ideal for the children’s lunchboxes, for an afternoon snack or for sport practice. My favorite bars are “Cereal Bars with Peanut Butter, Honey and Cranberries”. They’re so easy to prepare, they don’t need to be put in the oven, the mix makes several portions and they’re naturally sweetened. I hope that you enjoy these delicious bars as much as my family and I do!
