Easy No Bake Cheerios Bars Recipe
Description
The Easy No Bake Cheerios Bars Recipe brings together a simple mix of melted butter, mini marshmallows, and vanilla extract stirred into Honey Nut Cheerios. After heating the marshmallows and butter to a smooth consistency, the dry cheerios and remaining marshmallows are folded in to coat all the cereal pieces evenly. This mixture is then pressed into a parchment-lined pan and cooled at room temperature until firm enough to cut into bars. The optional sprinkles add a festive touch and slight crunch to the sweet bars.
The texture is chewy from the melted marshmallows with a slight buttery richness, balanced by the crispness of the cereal. These bars hold their shape well once cooled and can be sliced to a desired size, making them a handy grab-and-go treat.
No oven is needed, making these bars convenient for warm days or when an easy snack is required quickly. They can be served as a casual party treat or a lunchbox addition. Leftovers store best in an airtight container to maintain chewiness and prevent them from becoming stale.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter salted
- 10 cups mini marshmallows divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Transfer to the prepared baking pan and gently press the mixture into the pan. Spread sprinkles atop the cheerio bars, if using.
