Description

These delicious PB&J inspired cereal bars make for a perfect on-the-go treat. Melt smooth peanut butter with some marshmallows and a touch of brown rice or maple syrup, which allows you to reduce the amount of marshmallows typically called for in a cereal bar recipe. Add crushed Driscoll's Blueberries to the mixture for a pretty purple swirl, then fold in more whole berries for a juicy bite!
