Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Cheerios cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup honey
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and easily stirrable.
- Pour the Cheerios into the peanut butter and honey mixture. Stir well until the cereal is completely coated.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a piece of wax paper or the back of a measuring cup to press it down firmly.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or bars.
Notes
- If you use Honey Nut Cheerios, you may reduce the amount of honey slightly for a less sweet bar.
- For cleaner cutting, chill the bars for an extra 30 minutes before slicing.
- These bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
