I am always excited to try new cookie recipes. My almost two-year-old LOVES to "help Mom" more than my other kids ever did. Recipes like this make it super easy for him to help me without stressing me out to the max. We both had a fun time making these and they tasted yummy to boot!
Fruity Pebble Cookies
1 box Funfetti Cake mix (I actually had a rainbow chip mix with pudding, so I used that)
2 eggs
⅓ cup oil
1 cup Fruity Pebble Cereal
Preheat oven 350. Mix all ingredients together gently until combined. I oil my hands and roll the dough in balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake about 8-10 minutes.
See it doesn't get any easier!!

I am definitely not mom-of-the-year material. It is a RARE occasion when I have an after school snack ready and waiting for my kiddo when he gets off the bus. Here is my one attempt in many months to do so!
Both the boys LOVED these, and they took minutes to make. I can do this again ;)
Cheerio Bars
1/2 cup crunchy natural peanut butter, well-stirred
1/2 cup honey
3 cups toasted whole grain oats cereal (Cheerios)
Line an 8 x 8 inch square pan with parchment.
Combine peanut butter & honey in a large saucepan and set over medium heat. Heat until mixture just starts to simmer, about 2-3 minutes, stirring. Remove from heat and stir until mixture is well-combined.
Stir in cereal until evenly coated. Pour mixture into prepared pan, cover with parchment, and press firmly. (Edited to add: A pastry roller will help to firmly and evenly pack down the mixture so the bars hold their shape). Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Cut into bars. Store individually wrapped in the refrigerator.
