Roses are red, violets are blue, buckle up, cause I’ve got the PERFECT TREAT FOR YOU!! This is the Michael Jordan of crispy treats my friends! I developed this recipe because I was strolling through the cereal aisle and saw a box of berry flavored Cheerios and I immediately thought how amazing they would be in a crispy treat format dipped in some chocolate! With Valentines day being tomorrow, I wanted to get this recipe out to you now, so you can make these yummy treats with the kids or to take to work and share with your co-workers. I’m not sure after having one bite that you will be thinking about wanting to share these beauties and that’s ok! I’m not here to judge. LOL! Happy Valentines Day! ❤️

Notes
- I used cooking spray on my fingertips to press the bars into the pan. It’s extremely sticky if you don’t. The cooking spray made the process much quicker and easier.
