Ingredients:
5 cups Cheerios dry cereal
4 cups marshmallows*
1 tablespoon butter
3 oz semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Grease or spray a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a large pot, melt butter and marshmallows together, stirring** near continuously. When the marshmallows are almost totally melted, add the chips. Stir once or twice, then stir in the cereal, one cup at a time. Once thoroughly mixed, pour into the prepared pan and flatten slightly with the back of a spatula or spoon. Allow to cool, then cut into bars.
*mini marshmallows melt faster, but the big ones work just as well.
**spray a spatula or spoon with cooking spray to avoid a sticky mess.

Love the of a "healthier" RK cereal bar with chocolate too!! Yum. I haven't eaten RK treats in 2 years, but I do miss them. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I've tried substituting the Rice Krispies with corn flakes and it tastes great but also is a little harder than the traditional way. You know, you've prompted me to ask myself why I haven't tried substituting Cheerios for the Puffed Wheat in Puffed Wheat Squares. Now I'm going to have to go do it.
ReplyDeleteI mix cherrios and marshmallows together, toss them in the microwave, call it a 'bowl eater' and eat it with a spoon.
ReplyDeleteThe best ones are made using Count Chocula cereal.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!

Bah - Chocolate is has been shown to have some heart-health benefits. Certainly enough to justify leaving in the chocolate chips.
ReplyDeleteMy thought too, Sarah. I used 1/3 of the butter it calls for in Rice Krispy Treats and 3 oz of chips isn't even a 1/4 of a cup.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love cheerios!
