Ingredients
- 4 cups Cheerios cereal
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble lightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using).
Step 4
Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the Cheerios in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Step 6
Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature, about 30-60 minutes, or refrigerate for 20 minutes if you're in a hurry.
Step 7
Once set, remove from the pan and cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes.
Step 8
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
