Strawberry Cereal Bars

I have a major sweet tooth, but I don’t like processed sugar. Is that weird?! I literally never crave a candy bar or a packaged cookie, so when that sugar craving hits and I need a treat asap, my mind goes straight to “what can I make super fast to satisfy this?!” haha. Today I want to share one of my go-to favorite recipes this summer for when you’ve been totally owning it and you need a quick sugar fix! These strawberry cereal bars are freakin’ delicious, full of flavor, and take about 5 minutes to make.. seriously! You need these in your recipe book. Trust me. 

Pretty similar to a rice crispy treat… only way better! The strawberry flavor and crunchy flakes are just perfect in these bars! You will totally be able to satisfy that craving without much effort, or all that other garbage that’s in processed sweets! All you need is Special K Red Berries cereal, marshmallows, and a little bit of butter! The Special K Red Berries are my favorite cereal, so I always have all three of these ingredients in my pantry, score!

Here’s the recipe:

I’m pretty confident that waiting for them to cool enough to cut easily is the hardest part of this whole recipe! Haha.
