• Candy – For added flavor, top the cereal bars in even layer of M&M or Reese’s Pieces.
• Add Nuts – You can easily add in nuts for added flavor and texture. Mix in peanuts, slice almonds, or any other nuts.
• Healthy Seeds – If you want to sneak in some healthy seeds to the mixture we recommend flax seeds, chia or hemp seeds.
• Sprinkles – If you are making these for a celebration add in funs sprinkles. We like to mix in their favorite color sprinkles for a fun and festive treat.

Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1 – First, grease a 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2 – In a pot, melt the butter over low with the marshmallows. Continue stirring until they are completely melted.

Step 3 – Once melted, stir in the cheerios.

Step 4 – Quickly press into the pan. Allow to cool completely – then cut into bars.

Recipe Tips:

• Melting Marshmallows – You can melt the marshmallows and butter together over medium heat in a sauce pan. Or place in a microwave safe bowl to melt.
• Rubber Spatula – To easily press the cereal mixture into the pan, spray the spatula with cooking spray and press into the baking dish. Spraying the spatula allows the mixture to not stick to the spatula. You can also press the mixture into the pan with parchment paper.
