We’re almost to the middle of September which means I’m officially ready for fall. Sweaters, fuzzy socks, and all things pumpkin are at the top of my “must have” list so, when Cheerios sent me a box of their Pumpkin Spice cereal along with a recipe for gooey cereal bars, I knew I had to break out my fall platter and make these ASAP.
The recipe was insanely easy and they turned out absolutely delicious. Full disclosure, I had to stop myself from nearly finishing the batch.
If you’re as into pumpkin as the vast majority of us are, I absolutely recommend making these. If you whip these up for a party or a random weeknight treat for the family, I guarantee they’ll be gone fast!
