No Bake Banana Crunch Bars

Anytime I see a store with Post Great Grains Banana Nut Crunch cereal on sale, I pick up a few boxes just to make this recipe for no bake banana crunch bars. I got it from a Taste of Home magazine years ago.
This is a great recipe for summer because it only involves a microwave for cooking. It is Shockingly Simple to make. My family, who’s mostly opposed to nuts, absolutely love these. I don’t even think they know that there are peanuts and walnuts in them.
I have also taken these Banana Crunch Bars to potlucks and people are surprised with the cereal that is used. Then they ask for the recipe. I also watch for those giant Hershey’s bars to go one sale for 99 cent. I pick up a few of those to melt for this recipe instead of the chocolate chips. These treats don’t last long at our house. Hopefully you will like these as much as we do.
