Hopefully this Scarecrow Bar Recipe is going to make our transition into fall easier. I love fall but the thought of summer coming to a close really has me bummed. During the fall I look forward to Fall Food & Drinks. The flavors of pumpkin, apples and other fall spices always excites me. When thinking of fall candy corns always come to mind. Our whole family has become fans of candy corns. Last week I decided to whip up these Scarecrow Bars that are topped with yummy candy corns.

This Scarecrow Bar Recipe includes peanuts and marshmallows layered on top of a crust. Yum! They will be perfect to toss into the kiddos lunch and also a great evening snack for the hubby and I. Plus they are making me less depressed about fall arriving. I am sort of anxious to break out the Halloween Decor.
