Cheerios Nuggets image

My Senior VP gave everybody a small canning jar filled with this one Christmas. I was skeptical but really loved it. Also, I found out that HE had made it--not his wife. So, I figured how hard can it be and had to get the recipe. I make it often at the holidays and leave it in a big bowl for people to grab. You can add just about anything you want to go with the Cheerios. I have used whatever M&Ms or chips/morsels I have at home.

I tried making these Cheerios nuggets but they didn't turn out well. The nuggets were too dry and crumbly. I think I may have added too much flour.

These Cheerios nuggets are a great way to use up leftover cereal. They are also a fun and easy snack to make with kids. My kids love helping me make them and they always disappear quickly.

I made these Cheerios nuggets last night and they were a hit with my family! My kids loved them and even my husband, who is usually not a fan of Cheerios, enjoyed them. They are super easy to make and only require a few ingredients. I will definitely
