Cereal Bars

I've decided that I'm just a wanna-be cook. Ha, my food and treats never quite turn out the right way. Blake's mom, Angie, is a very good cook and makes the best cereal bars! I know this because she sent some home with us on our way back to Washington one time, and I ate almost all of them! They are delicious! Mine don't look us pretty as hers though! :( My m&m's melted while I was stirring the ingredients, so you can no longer tell that there was m&m's in them. Shoot! I will try to get better at that! I made these for Blake, Matt, and Andrew also. I was scared that I wouldn't have enough treats for them, but they are hardly touching the treats! I hope it's just because they are just not hungry, and not because they turned out bad!
