Fall Treats – Scarecrow Bars

Fall isn’t all that far away and I’ve had Fall Treats on my mind lately.  These Scarecrow Bars are sure to be a hit with the family or for fall get togethers.  They are a great mix of sweet and salty.  I think they would be so great with a cup of hot apple cider!  Oh how I love fall! Plus there is a really cool printable version of this recipe so you can print it and save it for later!
