If your kids are anything like mine they will beg me to buy a certain cereal, eat half the pack and then never touch it again.
They’re also terrible for only eating half the options in those mini multipacks of cereal.
It drives me mad having so many half eaten boxes of cereal in my kitchen so I decided to use some of it up to make these tasty Chocolate Leftover Cereal Bars. The perfect snacks for kids!
Start off by melting peanut butter and honey in a jug in the microwave.
If you want to make these bars nut free then you can use Wow Butter.
Add this to a bowl with leftover cereal. I used three different types of cereal. It really doesn’t matter what size of shape it is.
Add it to a lined loaf tin and press down with the back of a spoon to make it as compact as possible.
Pour on some melted chocolate and then pop into the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.
It’s then ready to cut into slices and enjoy!
These bars will keep for several days in the fridge, perfect to pull out for an afternoon snack for kids.

Hi, can I substitute honey for maple syrup?
And what can I use instead if Peanut butter or wow butter…does Nutella work? I’m rubbish at baking!

If they won’t eat it as cereal, do they eat it as cereal bars?

Planning to make these at the weekend with the kids!
Do you think Weetabix would work well mixed in with the other cereals ??
Ill let you know how they turn out.

Cant see any reason why a bit of Weetabix mixed up the the other cereals wouldn’t work, definitely worth a try. We would love you to come back to us and let us know how they turn out.
