You know how every time a storm comes through the kids get a little crazy? Are mine the only ones who seem to lose their minds when they are stuck inside the house for a couple of days?!

The weather this week has trapped us at home for a couple of days. I didn’t realize how much I rely on our time outside each day. I nearly lost my mind from the constant bickering.

We did venture out to a summer reading program show at the Public Library. It was packed so I am guessing the other moms were also tired of having the kids inside!

It was the perfect opportunity to do some experimenting with new gluten free Chocolate Cheerios. We love the Banana Nut Cheerios Balls that we make so we thought we would try a new variation of the beloved peanut butter Cheerio balls.

I partnered with General Mills to share it with you all! This little snack was a big hit with the entire family!

Stir.

Wet your hands (or you’ll regret it later….). Wet hands will make it easier to shape the Cheerios mixture into bite size balls. Or you can spray your hands with cooking spray before shaping the balls.

    These look really good and simple to make! I appreciate your tip on spraying your hands with cooking spray, or simply wetting them before forming the balls . That is really important to remember!

    I love that these have almond butter for a richer flavor and some Moreno protein! I’d love to try them with other cereals, maybe quinoa puffs! Thanks as always for sharing!

    I’m kind of a miser when it come to sweet treats. These look really good. I also like the almond butter. I might sub the cereal and drizzle with dark chocolate. Makes me feel a little better and the kids would still LOVE it. Thanks for sharing EASY things to make. I agree that my kids are hungry non-stop in the summer.

      The multi-grain cheerios would be perfect. I’m totally going to try this!
