Cheerio Treats

Here's a quick and easy recipe for a fun treat. Most people already have all of these ingredients on hand. The only thing you'll have trouble deciding is if you should eat it for breakfast, a snack, or a dessert. They are so easy to grab, that you'll be snacking on them all the time if you're like me!





Cheerio Treats

• 1 c. sugar
• 1 c. corn syrup
• 1 c. creamy peanut butter
• 1 t. vanilla
• 5 c. Cheerios (I used Honey Nut Cheerios)

In a large sauce pan, combine sugar and corn syrup. Bring to boil over medium heat.

Allow mixture to boil for one minute and remove from heat.

Add peanut butter and vanilla to mixture and mix until smooth.

Add Cheerios and mix until all coated.

Drop mixture by spoonful onto waxed paper and allow to cool.

Makes approximately 2 dozen.

*Thanks to www.realmomkitchen.com for this sweet treat!

    Did you use natural peanut butter (aka just peanuts an nothin' else)? I always ask because it definitely effects the taste because of the extra sugars and oils in brands like jiff.

  5. KathieAugust 9, 2011 at 5:07 PM

    Hi Brittney! I just used Jif or Skippy (whatever I had on hand). It would be interesting to do a comparison with ones made with natural peanut butter to see the taste difference.

      Corn syrup substitute is 1/4 cup water to 1 cup sugar melted over low heat. Since the first step is to heat sugar and corn syrup...just do it all at once. :)

    Kat78 - Interesting that Germany doesn't sell corn syrup. Do you have access to Glucose? You could substitute that instead. I've also read on a couple of sites that for each cup of light corn syrup in a recipe, substitute 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup water. I've never tried it though so no promises! Best of luck!

    Sorry to hear you had a problem with them sticking. Did you let them cool before taking them off? You could definitely lightly spray the wax paper next time. Or maybe even try parchment paper instead.

    my own little twist on them, i used Smucker's brand ice cream magic shell. I poured the chocolate over some of them and stuck em in the freezer for a couple minutes. came out GREAT!

    i plan on doing this for xmas :) only with the colorful cheerios. using only green and red ones with the honey nut will look so festive!

Big hit with the kiddos..next time, I will put it all in a pan like suggested above to just cut out squares later on...and drop the chips right on top of the hole thing for a topping.

    I normally use that corn syrup mixture with Special K, put it in a 13x9" pan and then top with 1 cup of melted chocolate chips and 1 cup of melted butterscotch chips, combined. SO GOOD. Called Scotchies or O'Henry Bars.

    For those of you wanting to substitute the corn syrup: Here is a site I found with great substitutions: http://www.foodsubs.com/Syrups.html

    Here is what it states for corn syrup: "corn syrup Notes: This is a thick, sweet syrup that's popular in America, but hard to find in other countries. Unlike other sweeteners, corn syrup doesn't crystallize and turn grainy when it's cold, so it's a good choice for frostings, fudge sauces, and candies. Baked goods made with corn syrup are moister and stay fresher longer than those made with sugar. There are two types: dark corn syrup is dark brown and has a slight molasses flavor, while light corn syrup is almost clear and has a more delicate flavor. The two can be used interchangeably in many recipes. Karo is a well-known brand. Store corn syrup at room temperature. Substitutes: golden syrup (Substitute measure for measure) OR honey (This is sweeter than corn syrup, but substitute it measure for measure.) OR molasses (Substitute measure for measure.)"

    Not sure what I did wrong? I just made these a thought I followed the directions exactly. They were great when I first put them on the wax paper (tried a bite, hot but good) but now that they have cooled they are hard as a rock. I can barely bite through them even using the full pressure of my jaw. Is this normal? I was hoping to serve these at a play date tomorrow but there is no way toddlers would be able to eat these as they are.

    Just a tip - If the mixture turned out too hard for you, that means that you boiled it for too long and the temperature got too hot. The hotter the temp, the harder it will be, which is why the author says only to allow the mixture to boil for a minute. These turned out delicious!!!!! Definitely a keeper recipe!

    Just made these and I used honey instead of corn syrup but didn't really take into consideration that I should probably tone down the sugar because they are REALLY sweet. Other then that they came out great :)

    I used multi grain cheerios and chocolate fiber one cereal with natural peanut butter and light corn syrup. I also halved the recipe, the kids loved it!!!

    Just made these with Banana Cheerios and added no sugar. Made bite sized balls for my two year old and she loved them. Still a little sweet for my liking.

    I made this using Quaker whole hearts cereal. Then sprinkled heart shaped confetti on top. Wrapped them up with a note saying, "made with love".

    Back when i was in elementary school, they made these all the time. And since my mom was one of the cafeteria cooks, i always got the extras. I've missed these and I plan on making them.

    I save all the "less than a bowl left" bags of cereal, doesn't take long in my house, and when I have enough for a batch, they all get mixed together. We call them peanut butter mysteries.

    I've made these a few times and everyone loves them! I made them again today, using all the same ingredients (brand name) as before and they are as hard as rocks. I'm wondering if I boiled the syrup too long. Any ideas?

    Made these yesterday for my super picky almost 3 year old. After some coaxing I got him to try it. To my surprise he loved them. It is a relief to have another snack that he really enjoys. He needs all the extra fat and protein I can give him.
