No bake recipes are perfect for any occasion. The best part about them is that they don’t need an over so they’re great for hot summers.

In addition, kids love helping with this fun recipe… and it’s safe too! No bake recipes are even known for their ability to cut down on energy costs!

This no bake cereal bar recipe is the perfect snack for any occasion. I remember that one day when I made this recipe for a day at the park with some friends.

This snack didn’t melt, didn’t turn sticky, and when all was said and done… there were NO leftovers! These no-bake cereal bars were a huge hit!

Yield: 15 bars

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups Cheerios
  • 2 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
  • 2 cups M&M’s
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1) In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients; set aside. In a large saucepan, bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil. Cook and stir just until sugar is dissolved.

2) Remove from the heat; stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour over cereal mixture and toss to coat evenly. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Cool. Cut into 3-in. squares.

Yum! This recipe is perfect and it’s a great blend of many kids’ favorite snacks! I really love it… with any luck, you may love it too! It’s a great no-bake cereal bar recipe– one in a million!

No-Bake Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

July 24, 2008 by Kayla · Leave a Comment 

They’re crispy, they’re sweet, they’re delicious, and they don’t even require an oven! They’re no-bake cookies… or something of the sort.

I especially love this recipe because (obviously) it’s so easy! There are four easy ingredients that I usually have in my house so no matter the day, these no-bake butter balls are on the way!

For children especially, this recipe is so much fun to make. Usually, baking is only semi-hands-on for kids (partially) because of the dangers associated with ovens or stoves. With this delicious no-bake peanut butter ball recipe, they can help with the whole process!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (Use reduced fat for less calories.)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 cups of crispy rice cereal

Directions:
1) Combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir in enough cereal to make balls.

2) Place the balls on waxed paper and chill. Enjoy!

As a little hint, when rolling the balls (after step one) try wetting your hands a little bit. This makes it easier to roll the balls into a ball, without it sticking to your hands too much. Once you get these tasty balls all rolled all you have to do is chill and wait!

Once you take a bite, be sure to share because everyone will be wondering how you came across this great no-bake peanut butter ball recipe!
