Granola bars are one of my favorite things to make with our kids. Especially no bake ones like these Chewy Peanut Butter and Honey Granola Bars. They are easy enough that even my 4 year olds can make them all by themselves, which they love! Plus they only require a handful of simple ingredients that we always have on hand anyway!
This year M&M’S® is celebrating their 75th anniversary! 75 years!! Obviously, since this is one of my favorite candies ever, I had to celebrate! So I headed to Ruler Foods (our local Kroger store) and took advantage of the sale going on, and bought some M&M’S®. The great thing about Kroger stores is if you don’t feel like baking yourself, you can get a fresh M&M’S® cookie from their bakery 🙂
Since my kids and I love “working” in the kitchen together, it seemed like the perfect choice to pair M&M’S® with our favorite snack and take my granola bars to a whole new level of yum. You guys, we could not get enough of these! Good thing they are so easy to make, because we will be making them over and over again!
These bars are the perfect lunchbox treat or after school snack. It’s also a great idea to keep a few in baggies in my purse for those snack attacks when we’re out running errands…and not just for the kids! Mama’s need shopping fuel too 🙂
Find your local Kroger here and celebrate 75 years of M&M’S® by making these Chewy No Bake M&M’s Granola Bars for yourself! Enjoy!

This looks great. By any chance, do you have a similar recipe that does not contain nuts/nut butters? My grandkids are not allowed to bring anything with nuts to school and healthy, kid-friendly snacks are a bit difficult to find.
Thanks!!

I found this on Pinterest today and made it. I LOVE the crisp rice cereal in it! I’ve read other recipes without this, but it really adds something to it! I am thankful that I could make it gluten free (although it’s not always easy to find gluten free crisp rice cereal … I buy Aldi’s brand). Being gluten free is hard, but these bars make it just a little bit sweeter! Thank you!

These look absolutely amazing. I love granola bars, especially when they’re packed with m&m’s. I’d happily gobble this up in no time flat.
