We just recently were given two huge box of generic cheerios. I had just bought 12 boxes of the "good stuff" (cinnamon toast crunch, reeses puffs, trix....ect). How was I supposed to feed a bunch of kids under 6 cheerios while we had all this good stuff? I started by giving them bowls of half cheerios and half yumminess. Then my baby sister suggested on facebook "make cheerio treats!." I've never even made rice krispy treats, but I was up for a challenge if the result was yummy! Here's what I used:
1 bag marshmellows
3 tablespoons of butter (I used the real stuff!)
5 cups Cheerios
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup white chocolate m&ms (these I got cheap at easter, you can use any kind!)

| Special ingredients! |
I melted the marshmallows and butter together in the microwave for a minute and a half. I was paranoid about burning the marshmallows since I had never done it before, so I pulled them out and stirred every thirty seconds. When it was melted, I added the peanut butter in and stirred until it was blended.

| omnomnom! |
Then I just mixed in the cheerios and m&ms
and using a spatula, I scooped it into a greased 9X13 glass pan. I spread it even, making sure to press it into the shape of the pan so they would be even when I cut them out.
I put it in the fridge for a few hours. The result?

| SUCCESS!! |
As a side note, I would love to try this with honey nut cheerios! I have the new medley ones in my "snack closet"....maybe those next?? so many options!!
