Gluten Free Chex Bars are yummy homemade cereal bars with peanut butter, marshmallows, cereal, pretzels and M&M’s.

Gluten Free Chex Bars

Summer is all about snacking. And these Gluten Free Chex Bars are such a treat to snack on! How can you go wrong with pretzels, corn Chex, peanut butter and M&M’s! They are also no-bake, so you don’t even have to turn on the oven.

Gluten Free Chex Bars

I got the idea for these yummy bars from an awesome website called Julie’s Eats and Treats. Her recipe for Peanut Butter Snack Mix Bars looks really delicious. You should check it out! I just wanted to make a gluten free version. So that’s what I did.

Gluten Free Chex Bars

Gluten Free Chex Bars are very simple to make which is always a plus for me! Start by mixing gluten free corn Chex and gluten free pretzel sticks that you’ve broken into small pieces.

Next, measure out 5 cups of marshmallows.

Melt butter and natural peanut butter in a large heavy saucepan, then add in marshmallows. Stir constantly over low heat until marshmallows are melted. Pour over the cereal and pretzel mixture. Stir. Add M&M’s and stir.

Pour mixture into a 9″x13″ baking pan that’s been lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

      I think most marshmallows are gluten free, but ask your local grocer before buying them.

    Hi there!

    I made this for a super bowl party yesterday and, even though I followed the recipe to a ‘t’, the bars were gooey and totally fell apart. Have you ever had this happen? Help!

      I’m sorry that happened! And no, I haven’t had that happen with this recipe before.

    I have made Chex Bars (NGF) many times, made these and they were gooey and would not hold together. Seems someone else had the same problem.

    Can I use something other than peanut butter? Maybe almond butter? I need to make two batches. One for my Gluten.Free child and one with the peanut butter for my Tree Nut Allergy child.

      Hi Sonya Jo, I haven’t tested the recipe with almond butter. I used a regular peanut butter like JIF or Peter Pan. I think if you used an almond butter with a similar consistency, it could work. Like maybe Justin’s? The kind that has the oil that separates might not work.
