WhoNu? Cookies~ Review

WhoNu? Cookie package
 Cloey and Carter love cookies but I hardly ever buy them because they aren't a very health choice for a snack. I was in the snack isle at the store one day and saw "WhoNu? Cookies"  I picked up the box and started to read it. On the box it showed they are an excellent source of Calcium, Iron, Vitamins A, B12, C, D and E, I also saw that there is as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal. I decided to get a box of the soft & chewy chocolate chip cookies for us to try.

Cloey and Carter really enjoyed their cookies. I tried them, thinking they weren't going to taste the greatest because they are suppose to be so good for you, but I was wrong! These "WhoNu? Cookies" are very nutritious and delicious! I recommend anyone to try them. Even if you are on a diet you can feel better about cheating with "WhoNu Cookies" because of all the nutrition they have in them.

With WhoNu? Cookies I can feel good about giving my kids cookies as a lite snack.

Cheerio Bar Recipe, YUMMY

Thought I would share a yummy snack with everyone.
I know it never lasts long in my house when I make it and not just because of Terry, my kids and I but because of family and friends that come over after I have made it and they want some too.

What you will need:
  • 6 cups of Cheerios
  • 1 cup of Karo Syrup
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
  • 1 cup of Cranberries (optional)
  • 1/2 of M&Ms (optional)
  • 13x9 inch pan (I use a glass one)
  • I mix everything with a rubber spatula
Put a big pot on the stove add the Karo syrup turn your stove on medium high then add the cup of sugar. After it looks like all the sugar has dissolved add the cup of peanut butter, let that turn nice and soft.
After the peanut butter has soften and is mixed well with the Karo syrup, turn the stove off and immediately add the 6 cups of Cheerios and the cup of cranberries, mix well.
After you have mix it well dump it into a greased 13x9 inch pan and flatten. Then quickly add the M&Ms to the top and "Lightly" press on them with your rubber spatula, all you are trying to do is get them to stick to the  top not trying to crush them. 
I then put the pan into the fridge for five to ten minutes, to try and get them to harden fast. Take them out of the fridge and keep it stored at room temperature.  I leave them in the pan and cut a square as people want it, YUMMY!

Hope everyone enjoys them I know we all do!
