→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup peanut butter
02 -
1/2 cup honey
03 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 -
4 cups plain Cheerios cereal
# Instructions:
01 -
Add the honey and peanut butter to a large, microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir until well combined.
02 -
Return the bowl to the microwave for another 30 to 45 seconds, ensuring the mixture gets hot enough to set properly.
03 -
Add the vanilla extract to the hot mixture and stir well to incorporate.
04 -
Add the Cheerios to the bowl and stir gently until all the cereal is well coated with the honey-peanut butter mixture.
05 -
Drop portions onto a parchment lined baking sheet or into cupcake liners. No baking required!
06 -
Let the treats cool and set at room temperature. They should be firm enough to handle within 30 minutes, but will continue to set for a few hours.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the honey is boiling or else the treats won't set properly. Be careful not to burn the mixture.
02 -
As an alternative to microwaving, you can bring the mixture to a boil on the stove over medium-low heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
