How To Make Cheerio Treats

- Ingredients: cheerios, marshmallow, peanut butter, butter
- Difficulty: easy
- Time: ~15-20min from pulling everything out to eating (you can even cheat and eat while you make them)
- Type: snack/ desert
- Use: great activity for kids, really good for car rides, picnics, cookouts

Basically made the same way as Rice Krispie treats except with peanut butter. They're great with mini-M&M's on top.
Varieties
- Without peanut butter
- Change the topping
- Mix in the toppings for melty goodness
- Change the texture/taste by using more or less of cheerios, marshmallow, peanut butter

Equipment

A large deep pot (about a foot wide)
Mixing spoon (a strong wooden spoon works well)
Spatula (helps get everything out of the pot & helps spread)
9x13 pan (just roughly that size)
Ingredients

5 cups Cheerios
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp butter
6 cups mini marshmallows
Mini M&M's
Directions

First begin heating the pot on warm/low and melt the butter/margarine. After it's melted dump all the marshmallows in. Be sure to stir continuously and watch the temperature or else the marshmallows can brown or burn. Once the marshmallows are melted stir in the peanut butter.
Next add 2 cups of cheerios in at a time. The goal is to evenly coat the cheerios. Once done scrape out the mix with a spoon and spatula into the greased 9x13 pan and flatten. This is easier if you wet your fingers. Then sprinkle M&Ms or a topping of your choice over the batch. Then press the M&Ms into the mix, it helps them stick.
That's it! Just cut some squares and they're ready to eat. They are really good when still warm and soft.
