Grape Nuts Peanut Butter Bars

I'm a long time fan of grape-nuts cereal. Here's a fun recipe for Grape-Nuts Peanut Butter Bars from the back of the box I bought recently. It sounded really good and immediately caught my eye so I cut it out and gave them a try.

It's a real quick and easy recipe for a no-bake chewy cereal bar with just 4 ingredients.They are like chewy peanut butter granola bars you buy, only better!
