#CHEERIO BREAKFAST BAR FULL#

Well, I searched Cheerio recipes because that’s just what I happen to have on hand. I also try to keep things rather light since my husband and I both have a tendency to have high cholesterol if we don’t watch our diets. So, I like to cheer everyone up with a treat once or twice (or three times 😆) a week. I guess being home for 6 months- working remotely will do that to ya. My family and I have been discussing how the days seem to be blending in together, and every day seems the same as the last. The combination of Cheerios, peanut butter, and chocolate make for a very satisfying, healthy treat that can be eaten for breakfast, dessert, or both 🤭. I also hope you love this recipe.I’m here to cheer you (and me) up 😊! These yummy Cheerio Cheer-Me-Up Bars have a light crunchy texture similar to Rice Krispie treats that is accompanied with the familiar taste of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. In the meantime, I’m staying put on the couch with these Peanut Butter Cereal Bars and a pint of tea. It’s starting to feel like we have a bit of light at the end of the tunnel here. Hopefully this month is treating you well so far, whatever level of restrictions you’re under.

Nice and easy.Īs long as you have a bowl, a pan, a spatula, and a square tin or dish, you’re all set. You don’t need to turn the oven on, you don’t need to shuffle your whole fridge around to find space for these.

You can whip the mixture up in under 10 minutes, and after about half an hour of setting at room temperature, you’ll have a full batch of Peanut Butter Cereal Bars to enjoy. The peanut butter and marshmallow mixture melds together to create a gloriously squidge and chew between the crunches. The Cheerios, or most other cereals you could choose, stay wonderfully crisp and crunchy. As for the marshmallows, you can go as posh or cheap as you like, I opted for a bag of pink and whites that were lingering at the back of the baking cupboard.Īs with all Maverick Baking recipes, this recipe is dripping with TEXTURE. Both crunchy or smooth peanut butter works in this recipe, but (as with every recipe that requires peanut butter) I personally prefer crunchy. They were very good to me recently and gifted me a big care package of their delicious nut butters. I chose to use my favourite peanut butter ever in these bars, Pip & Nut. They make a nice light breakfast, or a satisfying snack to tide you through these long days. You’ll get the dreamy coupling of sweet and savoury at once. You won’t find these tooth-tinglingly sweet, and they don’t feel like you’re eating a Nature Valley bar. With a helping of healthy fats and protein from Pip & Nut’s unmatched peanut butter, and a dose of structurally essential and deliciously sweet marshmallows. These 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cereal Bars are a little bridge between treat and healthy snack. That’s what I’m hoping to give you with today’s recipe, especially as I know I’m due to eat a LOT of these in the coming week! The balance between pure dessert and obviously health-conscious breakfast isn’t that common. Many homemade cereal bar recipes seem to fall into either the category of a) loads of butter and marshmallows or b) a painfully scant amount of natural peanut butter and honey. While it only got me through about a fifth of this enormous box, the end product was worthwhile. Who was I to resist?Īs a result, Saturday morning was spent melting and stirring various things together in the hope that something tasty would come out at the end of it. It doesn’t fit anywhere in the kitchen, so has now become a very affordable and practical ornament on our worktop.Īfter posting about this mundane but nonsensical occurrence on TikTok, a lovely commenter suggested some Cheerios recipes in a bid to use up this wheat-field-in-a-box. And of course, in the swirling haze of boredom and chaos that lockdown life is when you’re working full time, I fecked it up.Ī 700g box of cereal, akin to some comedically large American cartoon version, arrived. In an exceptionally adventurous mood (lol), I threw a box of Cheerios into the online basket this week. While they are convenient, and a modern marvel at times, they can lead to uninspiring scrolls through the same brands you see every week with little inspiration. The supermarket deliveries have been our most common choice during lockdown restrictions. Our flat is in the city centre and we don’t have a car, meaning that food either comes from expensive tiny shops, online supermarket deliveries, or (on payday) Deliveroo. Food shopping has become a pretty tiresome affair since this time last year.
