How To Make This Marshmallow Cheerio Treats Recipe

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment


For the last 6 months, I’ve had a giant box of honey nut Cheerios in my pantry. Although my kids do love Cheerios, it usually isn’t their first choice. I’ve kept the pantry too full, so they opt for one of their other favorites instead of the Cheerios. Thus, I needed to find a way to get them eaten, so I decided to make marshmallow cheerio treats. 

I know this might seem like a simple and obvious recipe. But for some reason, I never considered using other cereal to make cereal bar treats. I always use Rice Krispies. I wasn’t sure that cheerio treats would turn out as well, but I figured it was worth the risk. To make these cereal bars, you only need 3 ingredients – butter, a bag of marshmallows, and a box of cereal.

You can make them in the microwave or you can make them on the stovetop. I’m a fan of the microwave for quickness. First, you melt the butter. Then, you add the bag of marshmallows and microwave until they are melted. You may want to check it and mix every 30 seconds until the butter and marshmallows are completely melted and incorporated.

Then, you dump in 7 cups of cereal and mix until well combined. That’s it! These Cheerio treats are really the easiest dessert option there is. My kids absolutely love cinnamon toast crunch, so I think I’ll try making those cereal bars next. Overall, these turned out well and my kids loved them. Although this recipe isn’t anything unique or special, I was excited to learn that I can use basically any cereal to make cereal bar treats. 

If you’re looking for other cereal bars, here is a recipe for my absolute favorite chocolate peanut butter Special K bars. 

Cheerio Treats Recipe

Ingredients:

7 cups Cheerios
5 Tablespoons of Butter
1 10-12oz bag of Marshmallows

Directions:

Melt butter in the microwave. Add the bag of marshmallows and microwave until completely melted and incorporated. Next, add in the 7 cups of cereal and mix until well combined. Add to a 9×12 pan and press the cereal mixture into the pan to make sure the cereal pieces are tightly compacted. Cut into squares and serve at room temperature.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors. If you're looking for a quick, convenient and delicious lunch option, definitely check out Progresso Toppers! #progresso #progressotoppers #takeacrunchbreak

I’ve received a lot of DMs about traveling to Puerto Vallarta. New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing a full blog recap, including my thoughts on traveling during the pandemic and the experience we had.

Here’s a bit about where we stayed —  @villapremiere — is doing a fantastic job at keeping their employees and guests safe. Everyone is required to wear a mask; social distancing is maintained at all restaurants and public spaces; staff do not enter rooms except for room cleaning when the room is empty; hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the resort; hotel capacity is capped to ensure proper social distancing. I honestly felt very safe. If you have any other questions, please dm me or leave your questions below.
