{no bake} Monster Cookie Granola Bars

Share

 

I did it!

This was my first year as the mother of a middle schooler,

and I made it through ALL of the projects.

{and there were quite a few}

 

This week alone there was making a photography disc with iphone pictures, a power point presentation for speech, and the country report display.

{Charlie chose Nigeria…not the easiest to build if you ask me}

The final project was turned in today,

and I am breathing SO much easier.

BUT…we do still have 12 days of school remaining,

which means that I am in need of lunch box ideas for 12 more days.

One of my favorite lunch box treats are granola bars.

Because I was feeling festive today,

{no school projects for at least 4 months does that to me}

our bars got m&ms

but not just any m&ms

peanut butter m&ms,

and since the m&ms are peanut butter,

then the granola bars should get peanut butter as well.

If there’s peanut butter, then you may as well add a bit more chocolate.

{okay so these may not be the healthy sort of granola bars}

but they sure are good!

 

Happy Friday, Happy almost summer vacation, and Happy Mother’s Day weekend.
