Ingredients

• 4 cups Cheerios cereal
• 1 cup Honey
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips or nuts

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large, non-stick saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, butter, and brown sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a light boil and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add the Cheerios cereal to the saucepan and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated with the honey mixture.

Step 5

If adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in at this stage, ensuring even distribution.

Step 6

Pour the coated Cheerios mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer. Allow the mixture to cool and set for about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 7

Once cooled and hardened, break the Cheerios Crunch into bite-sized clusters. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
