I need you to slowly think back to age 7…  You’re sitting at the breakfast table.  Can you see what you are eating? Or maybe I should ask, what do you wish you were eating?  Was it Count Chocula®?  Or maybe Franken Berry®. Or my daughter’s favorite Boo Berry®. Today is flashback cooking day and I’m taking you back to the carefree days of childhood with these spooky fun, Crispy Monster Munch Cereal Bars.

Crispy Monster Munch Cereal Bars

I couldn’t decide which cereal is my favorite, so I made all three :)  They’re all super crunchy sweet treats perfect for your Halloween party.  Plus they’re super easy to make!  Even if you can’t decide which flavor, either.

Build a Spooky Monster Castle

I always loved the silly characters for the monster cereals.  For Halloween this year, they’ve added a fun castle building activity to the back of the box.  Simply cut out the shapes and start playing. While I was making the three batches of bars for this post, I kept overhearing my girl telling elaborate stories of ghosts and vampires and strawberries.  It was pretty hilarious to listen to…

The castle and characters make a super cute snack table decoration, too!
