I make these for the boys to have for snack.  They are slightly better than other sweet treats because of the protein in the peanut butter and the whole grain in the cheerios.  And they’re addictively delicious.

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 6 cups honey nut cheerios (store brand works fine)

Measure out the cereal in a large bowl and set aside.

Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan.  Add marshmallows.  When marshmallows are partially melted, add the peanut butter.  Stir and melt over medium-low heat until all ooey-gooey.  Do not burn!  You might want to take it off the heat when there are a few unmelted marshmallows left and stir until smooth.

Pour over cereal and stir until well blended.

Pour into a buttered 9×13 pan.  Press down with buttered hands (or sprayed wax paper or silicone spatula).

Let cool, then cut into yummy, awesome bars.

Enjoy!
