Ingredients
- 2 cups honey
- 1½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 cups Cheerios dry
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. Get out a large bowl and place the 7 cups of Cheerios in it.
- Scoop the honey in a medium size sauce pan. Over medium-high heat, heat the honey until it reaches 265°F. (hard ball stage) You can also test this in water, drop a bit of the honey into cold water and if it forms a hard ball that can still be squished, it's ready.
- Remove from the heat and instantly stir in the peanut butter, then stir in the vanilla.
- Pour over the dry cereal in the large bowl and stir until the cereal is completely coated.
- Turn out into the prepared pan, pressing down on the cereal to form a firm bar.
- Let cool at room temperature until set. Do not refrigerate. Keep in a closed container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
