Ingredients

  • Cheerios
    3 c
  • peanut butter
    ½ c
  • honey
    ½ c
  • pure vanilla extract
    1 tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    In a microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract if using. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute to soften and blend the ingredients together.

  2. 2

    Whisk the warmed mixture until smooth and well combined. Then add the Cheerios, stirring thoroughly to ensure all the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture.

  3. 3

    Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment or wax paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down firmly using a spatula or your hands, creating an even, compact layer. This helps the bars hold their shape once chilled.

  4. 4

    Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to allow the bars to set and harden, making them easier to cut and handle.

  5. 5

    Once set, remove the mixture from the pan and cut into 9 squares. Alternatively, cut into triangles or smaller portions as desired, especially when serving children or for a dessert tray.
