Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cereal Bars

Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium sauce pan combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and pumpkin and set over medium heat. Heat for about five minutes until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Remove from heat and thoroughly stir in the pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Separately, pour the dry cereal in a large bowl. Next pour your peanut butter mixture over the cereal and stir well until evenly coated. Pour cereal mixture into your prepared dish and slightly press down to even it out. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into bars. ENJOY 😊🎃
