Yay! We are back to school and while I still have some Kindergarten sadness, having two kids in school has been a new balance on scheduling, planning and saving! While it’s only two days into the new school year, I have already figured out that keeping my kids mornings and afternoons running smoothly means packing good healthy lunches, snacks and being ready for them to walk back in the door starving. (Because: kids) Whether it’s running to the bus stop short on time in the mornings or looking for a deliciously fun treat in the afternoon, I wanted to share a Peanut butter & Honey Cheerio Bar recipe our family loves!
Peanut Butter & Honey Cheerio Bars are so easy to make, perfect to take on the go and you can save money by grabbing your ingredients at Save-A-Lot, which helps keep you on a budget as well. Goodness knows there will be lots of packing lunches and making snacks the next 9 months, so I have to make sure I get my recipes and timing in order!
