Ingredients
- 4 cups Cheerios cereal
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If adding chocolate chips, stir them into the mixture now for some melted chocolate swirls.
Step 5
Gradually add the Cheerios cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 6
Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula (lightly greased to prevent sticking) to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
Step 7
Let the mixture cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 8
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, and cut them into 12 even squares or rectangles.
Step 9
Store the Cheerios Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
