Cheerios Treats With Peanut Butter

How To Make Cereal Bar Treats

The kitchen tools you’ll need are a big mixing bowl, spatula, microwaveable bowl, and Pyrex dish (9 x 13). If taking them to a party grab a few disposable aluminum pans and wax paper. 

Supplies

• Butter
• Mini Marshmallows
• Box of Honey Nut Cheerios or your favorite Cheerios (equal to 5 cups)
•  M & M’s (Or) grab Red, White and Blue M & M’s for Memorial Day or the 4th of July celebrations
• Peanut Butter
• Pam (non-stick cooking spray)

 This Cheerios Treat Recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and is no bake.

Step 1 – Pre-spray bowls and sheet pan with non stick spray such as Pam. Pre-measure your Cheerios, M & M’s, and peanut butter adding them into your larger mixing bowl. Set to the side.

Step 2- In a smaller microwaveable bowl (pre-sprayed) add marshmallows and butter. 

Step 3- Melt together butter and marshmallows in the microwave, stir.

Step 4- Pour over and into your premeasured large mixing bowl with Cheerios (you can use any type of Cheerios you’d like), M & M’s, and creamy peanut butter. (I like using a heatproof spatula.) Like peanuts? Use the M & M’s candies with peanuts. 

Step 5- Toss and press into a pre-sprayed 9 x 13 inch Pyrex dish and let cool. 

Cut and serve.

Or if taking the sweet treat to a party, picnic or pot luck, or traveling…

Cut and add them to a pre-lined pan with wax paper, add treats to the disposable aluminum sheet cake pan with lids.
