# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 cups of plain Cheerios
02 -
1/2 cup of honey
03 -
1/2 cup of peanut butter
04 -
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Scoop the honey and peanut butter into a big microwave-safe bowl, then heat it on high for 1 minute. Take it out and stir until they're completely blended together.
02 -
Pop the bowl back into the microwave for another 30-45 seconds, making sure the mixture is hot enough to do its job.
03 -
Pour the vanilla extract into the hot mixture and give it a good stir so everything’s mixed well.
04 -
Dump the Cheerios into the bowl and gently fold them in. Keep stirring so every piece gets coated with the sweet mix.
05 -
Spoon out portions onto a baking sheet covered with parchment or place them in cupcake liners. There's no need to bake them!
06 -
Leave the bites at room temperature so they can cool and harden. They’ll be ready to handle in about 30 minutes, but if you wait a little longer, they’ll get even better.
# Notes:
01 -
You’ll need the honey to reach boiling for the treats to hold together. Make sure not to overcook it.
02 -
If you’d rather skip the microwave, you can heat the mixture on the stove over medium-low. Stir continuously and let it gently simmer for 2 minutes.
