It’s Labor Day weekend! That means traveling, family time, and snacking! For us, it means snacking while traveling to my family! Since it was 100 degrees yesterday, I decided I probably shouldn’t turn my oven back on like I did for the caramel apple oatmeal bars to make snacks! I needed to find something that would fulfill the “snacky” food requirement that didn’t require baking.
I opted for a version of my no-bake Peanut Butter Mini Chip Granola Bites. I switched up the chocolate for butterscotch and added pecans and crisp rice cereal to give them some crunch, because we all know that good snacking food has a crunch to it! 🙂 The last time I made these my husband ate them up in one day, so I figured he wouldn’t mind if I made them again!
Have a great weekend! Enjoy your family, friends, and of course, good food! And, if you need something to snack on, give these a try!
