These easy, no-bake Pretzel Cereal Bars are perfect for Easter, or you can change the colors to fit any holiday!
Is Peter Cottontail ready to hop down the bunny trail at your house? He still has some work to do in our neighborhood. I just boiled a pot of eggs this morning, and dying will happen as an after-school activity this week. I’m definitely getting in a festive mood, and I had made fun making these tasty pretzel cereal bars over the weekend. The candy coated pretzels made the marshmallow coating swirled with pastel colors, making these a perfect Easter treat!
They do need to be refrigerated to get them to hold together and are still a bit more crumbly than traditional rice crispy treat. It’s worth it for the salty pretzels, whole grain Cheerios, and hearty texture if you ask me. Put a smile on your kids’ faces with this fun no-bake dessert!
