I absolutely love Cheerios because they’re made out of wholesome oats and are perfectly crunchy and nutty, and did I mention they’re entirely gluten-free? (Side note: They’re also the only snack I’ll serve my students at school when they forget one. So I got to thinking about these beloved Cheerio Treats and decided it was time to give them a total makeover. Picture a rice crispy treat, Cheerio style. So of course, I started looking for a little inspiration…īack when I was in high school, my mom made this amazing snack bars that she, so brilliantly, called “Cheerio Treats”, which go figure, were made out of Cheerios and lots of other delicious (but not so healthy) ingredients. So you can figure it was about time for a bit of variety in the snack department. I swear I made it almost weekly since I posted that recipe back in the beginning of May. Particularly, this Toasted Coconut Peanut Butter Granola. For the past month (let’s be serious, more like 4 months), I’ve had a kind of unhealthy obsession with granola. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m always on the lookout for easy, healthy grab-and-go snacks to keep me going through my busy days.

Essentially this is a 5-ingredient recipe. melted chocolate: I always prefer dark chocolate, but milk or even white is fine too.Īll the melty things.melted marshmallows: Pink, white or pink AND white are fine.peanut butter: I use natural and crunchy, but again, your favourite brand is fine.melted butter: I like salted which I think adds something to the final taste, but unsalted is just fine too.Cheerios cereal: I like to use the ones made of wheat, oats and rice, but whichever type you like.
