Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
Some cheerio bar recipes use butter and marshmallows like Rice Krispie treats, and while those can be tasty I prefer this “healthier” version.

Cheerio Bars
You ready to see first hand just how simple this cheerio bars recipe really is to make? Let’s do this.
Top Left – Add honey and peanut butter to a medium sized saucepan.
Top Right – Heat over medium heat and stir until melty and well combined.
Bottom Left – Add in cheerios and stir to coat.
Bottom Right – Line a 9×9 baking pan with wax paper, and pour cheerio mixture into the pan. Press down with spatula or clean fingers to make sure bars lay evenly.
Place bars in the fridge or freezer while you melt your chocolate. Once melted, pour chocolate into a small ziplock bag and cut off one corner to drizzle over the bars. Then place peanut butter cheerio bars back into the fridge to harden.
Lift the wax paper out of your pan and cut your bars into squares. I like to cut mine into 18 rectangles, to use for small lunchbox treats or after school snacks. My kids love them.
