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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
