Cheerio (or any cereal) Treats

Here's a quick and easy recipe for a fun treat. Most people already have all of these ingredients on hand. The only thing you'll have trouble deciding is if you should eat it for breakfast, a snack, or a dessert.

These are so good!  Adina just loves them. 

I didn't happen to have cheerios on hand, so I used rice chex.  They turned out great! 





Cheerio Treats

• 1 c. sugar
• 1 c. corn syrup
• 1 c. creamy peanut butter
• 1 t. vanilla
• 5 c. Cheerios (or whatever cereal you'd like)


In a large sauce pan, combine sugar and corn syrup. Bring to boil over medium heat.

Allow mixture to boil for one minute and remove from heat.

Add peanut butter and vanilla to mixture and mix until smooth.

Add Cheerios and mix until all coated.

Drop mixture by spoonful onto waxed paper and allow to cool.

Makes approximately 2 dozen.


Adina's a huge fan of these;  I can't get Clarence to try them yet, though.  I highly recommend!  They're a great snack or treat.
