Ingredients
- 3 cups Cheerios
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the peanut butter and honey in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals stirring in between until the mixture is smooth and melted. Then, stir in the vanilla. (Alternatively, you can melt this mixture in a small pot on the stove over low heat.)
- Pour the Cheerios into a bowl and add the melted peanut butter and honey peanut butter mixture to the bowl.
- Gently fold the peanut butter honey mixture into the Cheerios. (See this tutorial on how to properly fold ingredients.)
- Press the peanut butter-coated Cheerios mixture into an 8x8 baking pan lined with parchment, patting the top to get things smooth. Refrigerate the bars for 1 hour, then slice into 9 bars and serve.

Notes
- I like to use non-separating natural peanut butter here but the normal processed jarred peanut butter works also. Just don't use homemade peanut butter or natural peanut butter in which the oil separates.
