No-Bake Monster Cereal Bites

By 96 Comments

These No-Bake Monster Cereal Bites are fun to have on hand when you need a treat that won’t do you in. You’ll be wowed with a blast of peanut butter, a bit of chocolate, and a nice crunch, too.

No-Bake Monster Cereal Bites are a fun treat for everyone! This snack is so easy to make, too!

I’m a treats kinda gal, and there’s nothing I can do about it. There’s always something sweet (but not over the top) in my house that I can grab to satisfy a craving. I have to admit, though, No-Bake Monster Cereal Bites aren’t typically the sort of thing I keep on hand, but I decided to make these when my nephew was staying with us.  

No-Bake Monster Cereal Bites are so fun for a snack. These treats are tasty and easy to make!

Okay, so time flies and my nephew isn’t eight anymore. In fact, he’s 28 and just starting his medical residency. Old habits die hard, I guess! No worries. No matter how old you are, No-Bake Monster Cereal Bites are fun to eat and they will definitely fit the bill when you’re craving a treat. Bonus: you don’t need any special ingredients to make these, nor will you need to turn on your oven.

No-Bake Monster Cereal Bites are fun to make and serve! You likely have all the ingredients at home to make this snack!

If you enjoy treats with cereal in the mix, I’ve got a few more goodies for you to try: Chewy Coconut and Dried Fruit Bars and Crispy Marshmallow and Almond Butter Buckeyes. 

This no-bake recipe includes granola, Cheerios, raisins, peanut butter, and mini M&Ms candies. I can’t wait to do a little experimenting and change up the ingredients a bit for another time. Use your favorite cereal (I’m willing to bet crispy rice cereal or oats work well) and add your favorite touches (nuts, almonds, seeds, and dried fruit come to mind).

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granola
  • 1 cup Cheerios cereal, lightly rolled and broken (I put mine in a zippered plastic bag and used the peanut butter jar to lightly pound on them)
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 5 ounces mini M&M’s candies
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, divided

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients (reserve 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds as garnish) to a bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and roll into 2-inch balls. Sprinkle the balls with the sesame seeds and serve.
  3. Store remaining Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Refrigerate the mixture before rolling them into balls, which makes it easier for you to shape them. Store them in a container in the refrigerator until you're ready to snack!

    Dear Patricia, these little bites look delicious. Perfect for lunch boxes or after-school snacks. I have four boys and my littlest guy has Down syndrome. He's a very picky eater, to the point that he only eats a few certain foods and refuses everything else. I'm sure he would eat these yummy bites and get a little protein at the same time. :)

    I always need to have a little something sweet in the house too. Nothing too sugary but with just enough sweetness to satisfy. I love these little cereal bites. They're easy enough to make so I can keep them on hand and I know my daughter would love them as an after-school snack.

      Hi Tonya, and thanks! I only have this recipe option, but maybe you could try sunflower seed spread to replace the peanut butter?
