Kindness. Friendship. Love. These are all words to describe an amazing year ahead! What better way to start off the year than to Do Good for someone and brighten their day? And these 3-Ingredient Cereal Bars can do just that!
Today, I’m sharing a fun idea for me and my kids to spread a little good 3-Ingredient Cereal Bars that use Honey Nut Cheerios!
3-Ingredient Cereal Bars
Dollar General and Cheerios want to encourage their shoppers to “Do Good” and share positivity by simple acts of kindness. So, we thought we’d get in the fun with these delicious bites of goodness.
These 3-Ingredient Cereal bars are super easy to make, and we’ve got a fun idea to share some kindness and start someone’s day off right!
Starting our day off can be hectic and crazy! I always make sure the kids have a good breakfast before heading out the door to school, but sometimes there’s not a lot of time to sit down.
So, we like to make cereal bars that are healthy and have good-for-you ingredients in them so that the kids are fueled and ready to tackle whatever comes their way! These Cereal Bars are perfect for that PLUS they are easy to make!
Simple Acts of Kindness
If my kids are in a hurry to get out the door and have a healthy breakfast, I am sure other kids are, too! That’s where our “Do Good” idea comes in.
We thought it would be a fun idea to make an on-the-go breakfast that the kids could share with their friends. We just whip up a batch of Cheerio Cereal Bars, add to cute little bags with cute hearts on them, and hand them out! That’s it!
They just look for kids in school that cross their path and ask if they’d like a morning treat. FUN! The kids LOVE it! They taste like a sweet dessert treat but are filling their bellies and giving them fuel to start the day off right.
