    Growing up, my Saturday mornings were all about watching reruns of The Flintstones cartoon while eating PEBBLES™ Cereal for breakfast. I always struggled with choosing between Fruity PEBBLES™ and Cocoa PEBBLES™, and both remain my all-time favorites. The amazing flavors, crispy crunchy rice, and bold colors are what make them a timeless breakfast classic.

    And while sitting down with a bowl of PEBBLES™ cereal is great on its own, I like to have fun using it as an ingredient that inspires me to come up with all sorts of colorful and creative recipe ideas.

    With November being Gluten-Free Diet Awareness Month, this recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares is just the thing. It's a fun and flavorful variation of the standard crispy rice cereal treat. Featuring the same great Cocoa PEBBLES™ cereal you know and love, these squares get bonus points as they just so happen to be gluten free, too.

    One of my kid's BFFs has celiac disease, and whenever she comes over for a playdate, I make sure to offer up tasty, fun and inclusive gluten-free treats. I know she appreciates being able to have the same foods as the rest of the kids. And because PEBBLES™ Fruity and Cocoa cereals are gluten-free, Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares are a perfect snack-time solution.
