Are you even a parent of a young child if you can't name at least two members of Paw Patrol? Chances are good that you can name more than that! Who's your kid's favorite character? Is it Marshall? Maybe it's Sky? My youngest loves Chase! He also loves Kix cereal. So when we found out that Kix was partnering with Paw Patrol, I knew we had to make a fun treat out of it!

My kids will eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so I decided to make some no bake granola bars for them. This way they can have some Kix Paw Patrol snacks as a midmorning snack, after school, or even at their siblings sporting events! These only take a few minutes to make and zero minutes to bake so you can just mix them together, use a cookie cutter to shape them, and then chill them in the refrigerator. So easy! Here is how you do it:

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups Honey Kix or Berry Berry Kix Cereal, 2 1/4 cups quick cooking oats, 6 Tablespoons butter, 1/3 cup honey, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1/2 cup slivered almonds, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, dog themed cookie cutters.

Directions:
1. Combine butter, brown sugar, and honey in microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds at a time until butter melts. Stir until ingredients are mixed well. Add vanilla extract.

4. Lay out two sheets of parchment paper, one on top of the other, and place the chilled granola bar mix in between. Use a rolling pin on top to roll the mix flat. Use cookie cutters to make fun dog themed shapes for Paw Patrol.

5. Place parchment paper in 8x8 pan and press leftover mix into pan. Top with more Kix cereal if desired. Chill all mix and dog shapes in refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove and place in resealable container for storage.
