Ingredients

  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 5 cups Cheerios

Instructions

  • Place butter and marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave for one minute.
  • Quickly stir in peanut butter and remaining ingredients in the order listed.
  • Add Cheerios and mix well.
  • Use wet clean, fingers to press into a 9 x 13 pan lightly coated with butter or non-stick cooking spray..

Notes

  • Have all ingredients measured out before starting the microwave because the marshmallows will set up fairly quickly
  • We like to reserve a few M&Ms to sprinkle on top, but they must be added and pressed down quickly to stick
  • Regular or Honey Nut Cheerios work well in this recipe
  • Make sure cereal is fresh, I may have used slightly stale cereal before which makes the bars taste stale
  • All cooking appliances and conditions are different, so you should test these times and guidelines first in your own appliance to determine what adjustments may be needed!
