How to Make Cheerio Squares

  1. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of margarine in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 1 (10 ounce) bag of marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat. Gradually add 6 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios, stirring gently until each Cheerio is evenly coated.
  4. Continue adding Cheerios until the mixture is too thick to stir easily and all the marshmallows are incorporated.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Let the Cheerio squares cool and set completely at room temperature for at least 25 minutes before cutting and serving.
