⭐Why Honey Nut Cheerios Treats Are Awesome
- Delicious honey nut flavor combined with gooey marshmallow.
- Similiar to krispy treats, these are the perfect snack for a lunch box or after school treat!
- You don't need any special cooking experience to make these easy snacks.
🥣Ingredient Notes
- Honey nut cheerios - The honey flavor and the crunch make these perfect for this treat.
- Mini marshmallows - You can use regular sized marshamllows too, but the mini ones melt quicker.
- Butter - I use salted butter because I like the slight touch of saltiness it adds to the recipe. You are free to use unsalted butter as well.
📋How To Make Honey Nut Cheerio Treats
STEP 1: Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
STEP 2: Melt ¼ cup butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly to prevent the butter from browning.
STEP 3: When the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir until all the marshmallows are melted.
STEP 4: Add Honey Nut Cheerios to the pan with the melted marshmallows. Stir to cover all of the cereal thoroughly with the marshmallows.
STEP 5: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press the mixture down to form an even layer.
STEP 6: Let the treats stand for 15 to 30 minutes before eating.
STEP 7: Cut the treats into squares or rectangles.
These Honey Nut Cheerios Treats are loved by kids and kids at heart!
