1 (10 ounce) package mini marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut butter
5 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
1 cup M&M's plain chocolate candy

Steps:

  • Put butter and marshmallows in lg microwave bowl.

  • Spoon into greased 13x9 baking dish; press down gently.
  • Cool before cutting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Stale marshmallows will not melt properly and will make your treats tough.
  • Do not overcook the marshmallow mixture. If the mixture is overcooked, it will be too thick and difficult to stir. This will also make your treats tough.
  • Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients. This will give you plenty of room to stir and combine the ingredients evenly.
  • Grease your baking pan before adding the Cheerio mixture. This will help to prevent the treats from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Cheerio treats are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give Cheerio treats a try.
