Day 111 ~ Cheerio Treat



Cheerio Treat

Just in time for the Holidays, this treat is super simple and very tasty! It only took 30 minutes from start to finish. I didn't add chocolate to the top of mine, but after they were done and I was snacking on them, I thought hello, chocolate drizzled on top would have made these snacks so much tastier! But that is just my opinion :)


Ingredients :
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Corn Syrup ( the clear one )
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
5 cups Cheerios ( I used multigrain )

Gather up your ingredients 



Measure out your sugar and corn syrup 


Combine them into a large sauce pan


Bring to a boil over medium heat, allow to boil for one minute and remove from heat


Add peanut butter and vanilla to the mixture and mix away






Add the cups of cheerios in a bowl 

Top off the cheerios with the peanut butter mixture and stir stir stir! 


Make them into some what of a ball shape and place them on wax paper or foil to cool off and dry a bit

You can add the chocolate on top after you place them on the paper to dry. Just heat some chocolate chips up in a zip lock bag in 30 second intervals in the microwave. Snip an end of the bag off and drizzle right over the cheerios, then let them dry for a bit longer and you can place them in an air tight container or eat them up!
