How to Make Cheerios Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add the Cheerios to the bowl and stir gently until all the cereal is evenly coated with the butter-sugar mixture.
  4. Spread the Cheerios mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the Cheerios are golden brown and crunchy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Cheerios crunch cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into clusters or serving.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week (if it lasts that long!).
