High Protein/High Fiber Cereal Bars Your Kids Will Eat!

1. 1

   Combine cereal, soynuts and cranberries in an extra-large mixing bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.

3. 3

   Spray a microwave-safe bowl (glass seems to work best) with non-stick cooking spray.

4. 4

   Pour in marshmallows, butter and vanilla (I like to use extra vanilla).

5. 5

   Microwave on high for 1-3 minutes until melted.

6. 6

   I take it out when the marshmallows start to look puffy and stir it well.

7. 7

   When everything is well melted and combined, pour the marshmallow mixture over the dry ingredients.

8. 8

   Stir with a spoon sprayed with nonstick cooking spray - work quickly!

9. 9

   - until all ingredients are well combined.

10. 10

    Pour (plop!)

11. 11

    mixture into baking dish.

12. 12

    Using a piece of wax paper large enough to cover the dish, press the mixture tightly and evenly into the bottom of the pan.

13. 13

    Allow to set before cutting - will set quicker in the fridge or about 2 hours on the counter.

14. 14

    For measurement purposes here, I cut my pan in half lengthwise and then each 'square' is cut into a tick-tack-toe grid providing 18 uniform-sized bars.

15. 15

    Enjoy!
