No-Bake Caramel Peanut Butter Bars

Not only were these quick and easy but they were extremely popular. The combo of cereal, caramel (made from the sugars), peanuts and chocolate make them outrageous. It is the perfect blend of sweet and salty. Since it is hot out, I also love that you don’t need to turn on the oven for these no-bake caramel peanut butter bars. Grab your ingredients and get “baking!”
