Recipe- Colorful Cereal Bars

No Bake Cereal Bars are delicious and colorful treats prepared using fruit loop cereals, peanut butter, and marshmallows. This recipe can be done using only five ingredients in less than 10 minutes.This recipe below is very flexible. You can even use cheerios and rice Krispie instead of fruit loops or combine all the three. I love cereal, and I generally avoid bringing home these kinds of yummy breakfast-cereals as I keep munching on them as a snack. I also use them as a crunchy-topping with yogurts and ice-creams.

Ingredients

3 tbsp Butter salted butter also tastes good
10 Jumbo Marshmallows tightly packed 3 cups
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
A Pinch Salt (optional)
4 tbsp Peanut butter
4 cups Fruit Loops

Method

* Cut the marshmallows using sharp kitchen scissors if you are using jumbo marshmallows. If you are using small or mini ones, then ignore this step.

* In a large pan or pot melt the butter. Then add the marshmallows and melt it on medium-low heat until it is entirely smooth. To this add salt and vanilla extract. Switch off the flame.

* Add in the peanut butter and mix. Then add the fruit loops, and combine till its coated. The mixture will be sticky and thickens as it cools down. So be quick.

* Transfer this mixture to a 9 inch by 9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or greased with butter. Spread the mixture, with silicon spatula or a spatula that is sprayed with some oil. Applying oil or using a silicon spatula will prevent the mixture from sticking

* Let it cool completely.

* No Bake cereal bars is ready. Slice into squares, serve and enjoy.
