Candy Studded Protein Cereal Bars

Cook you oatmeal according to the directions. I find every oatmeal has a different cooking time or water ratio. But since you’re making bars, make sure the water is not as much as if you were to make a regular bowl of oatmeal. Anyhow, I used 1 1/2 cups of water. So make your oatmeal. When it’s ready and still hot, stir in the protein powder, flax, and peanut butter. Pour onto a lined pan and top with the Cheerios or cereal of choice (I think this would work wonderfully with Captain Crunch!). Break up your candy pieces and smush them on top. Place in the freezer for about four hours. Then slice up into eight bars. They freeze well but you can also keep them in the fridge.
