Ingredients
- 360 g 2 ¾ cups Plain Honey Nut Cheerios Cereal
- 120 g ½ cup Honey
- 120 g ½ cup Smooth Peanut Butter
- 5 ml 1 teaspoon Olive Oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, peanut butter, and olive oil (if using). Heat over low, stirring frequently, until warm and well blended with a slight bubbling texture.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the Cheerios cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the honey-peanut butter mixture until evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal to a greased 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread and press the mixture into an even, compact layer.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set completely.
- Once set, remove from the fridge and slice into bars or squares using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Olive Oil: Adding a touch of olive oil helps prevent sticking and makes the coating process smoother, but it's optional.
- Storage: Keep the bars at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
- Freezing: For longer storage, wrap individual bars in plastic wrap then foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight before enjoying.
- Substitutions: Feel free to swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter. Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option. Different cereals like multigrain or regular Cheerios also work.
