How to Make Mom's Cheerios Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In the prepared pan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until completely melted. Remove from oven and carefully stir.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the entire 15.25 oz box of yellow cake mix over the melted butter.
  4. Gently stir to combine the cake mix and melted butter until evenly moistened.
  5. Evenly layer 3 cups of Cheerios over the cake mix base.
  6. Sprinkle 2 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the Cheerios.
  7. Scatter 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the marshmallows.
  8. Drizzle 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire mixture.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the marshmallows are melted and bubbly.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
