Gluten-Free Cereal Snack Bars {Recipe}

Need an easy-to-make gluten free snack that all can enjoy?  Be sure to add these Chocolate Gluten-Free Cereal Snack Bars to your rotation!

To make this family friendly snack, grease a 9x13 dish. In a medium sized saucepan, heat coconut sugar and honey over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat and gently stir in peanut butter until well-blended. Pour mixture over cereal, salted pepitas, and dried cranberries. Allow to cool until firm, then cut into bars. Store in air-tight containers for up to three days.

One of the most terrifying tasks I’ve had of late, was to make a snack for my son’s class.  Requirements: Use wholesome ingredients to create a snack that young children can make.  Must be gluten-free.  And, not be considered a dessert.  Phew.

What’s a mom to do?  She scours the internet for “gluten-free” options.  We’re not gluten-aholics over here, but it’s not something I strictly have avoided.

My research led me to realize that there really are quite a lot of easy substitutes or replacements for gluten-laden products and that the term “gluten-free” is not as terrifying as at first it might seem.  There are thousands and thousands of Gluten Free treats on Pinterest, alone.

The result of my findings?  Well, I tweaked a few recipes to make a new family favorite – Chocolatey Cereal Snack Bars.
