Description

Whip up a batch of 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars! Quick, easy, and satisfying snacks that everyone will love. These delightful bars combine the creamy goodness of peanut butter with the crunch of Cheerios, creating a treat that’s not only delicious but also perfect for on-the-go snacking.


Ingredients

Scale

Creamy Peanut Butter

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Honey or Maple Syrup

  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

Cheerios

  • 3 cups Cheerios

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Start by lining a baking dish with parchment paper. This will help prevent the bars from sticking and make for easy removal later.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  3. Add Cheerios: Gently fold in the Cheerios, making sure they are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture. This step is crucial for the perfect texture.
  4. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly with your hands or a spatula to create an even layer.
  5. Chill and Cut: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to set. Once firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into bars or squares.

Notes

  • Use Natural Peanut Butter: Opt for a natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for a healthier treat.
  • Don’t Skip the Chilling: Chilling the bars helps them set properly, ensuring they hold together when cut.
  • Customize Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on your desired sweetness level.
  • Store Properly: Keep the bars in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crunch.
  • Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to get creative with different add-ins to find your favorite combination.
