We are a cereal family. I love cereal. My husband loves cereal. The kids love cereal.
We eat it for breakfast...and snacks.
But I wanted to come up with a new way to eat cereal...
something to eat on the go and great for snacking at school.

I came up with Honey Nut Cheerios Peanut Butter Bars.
They are so good (my husband was skeptical)!
They are so easy...and you will keep coming back for more.
Ingredients
- 7 cups Honey Nut Cheerios
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1Talespoon Vanilla extract
- 40 Marshmallows
- 3 (heaping) Tablespoons Peanut Butter (of course you can omit the peanut butter is there are allergies, etc.)
- (Optional) 2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Make It!
- Butter a 9 x 13 pan
- In a large stock pot, melt the butter
- Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until melted.
- Add the peanut butter.
- Add the vanilla and stir until combined.
- Remove from the heat and add the cheerios to the marshmallows.
- Stir until the cheerios are completely coated.
- Transfer the Cheerios to the buttered pan and press down, so that the mixture fills the entire pan.
- Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top and gently press down.
- Let set and then cut into bars size rectangle and serve!
These are a big hit in our house now!
So easy to make and so easy to eat!

ReplyDeleteMia's a Honeynut Cheerio freak... we'll be making these!
ReplyDeleteDo you have to use marshmallows?
ReplyDeleteJasmine - You come up as a no-rely blogger...so I could not email you...hope you see this:
DeleteI suppose there are substitutes for the marshmallows. I have not experimented with this at all. I make these cherry nut cups that use melted chocolate to hold them together.
