How to Make Honey Nut Cheerios Squares

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (113g) honey and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Add 6 cups (140g) Cheerios (any variety, or a mix!) and stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the cereal evenly.
  5. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour the Cheerios mixture into the prepared pan.
  7. Let it cool for 1 minute.
  8. Using slightly wet hands, gently press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan to create compact bars.
  9. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
  10. Cut into squares and enjoy!
