Welcome to the second installment of Cereal Treat Sunday. This week we are making Cheerio Treats. I wish they had a better, more creative name. Peanut Buttery Piles of O’s, okay, that’s horrible, let’s stick with Cheerio Treats.
We are starting out with some super simple cereal treats for those who may be beginners in the cereal treat arena. 😉 
This one is nearly fool proof with only 5 ingredients.
Warning: If you have a peanut allergy steer clear of this one!
Cheerio Treats
1 Cup Corn Syrup
1 Cup Sugar
Cook in sauce pan until boiling. Then allow to boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Then add:
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Blend until peanut butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over 5 cups Cheerios and mix until well coated. Drop by spoonfuls on to wax paper and let cool.
*Insider’s tip: to measure sticky items like corn syrup and 
peanut butter easily, coat the measuring cup with a little cooking spray before using.
Voila, you are a Cheerio treat chef. Now go enjoy your peanut buttery piles of O’s and we’ll see you next week for another episode of Cereal Treat Sunday!

YUM!!!! Those look great. I haven’t made anything like this with Cheerios for awhile. Very tempting! We all love cereal treats!
These are great! Thanks for sharing! I’m looking forward to the next cereal treat.
What a great idea! Thanks! 🙂
Those look so good I could eat some right now!! :0) Very yummy looking.
Those look yummy! I definitely bookmarked so I can make these later for the kids!
I usually don’t do well with any candy things I have to boil for a certain amount of time, but I am going to give these a try and let you know if I was able to do them. Thanks for giving me the ideas. I will be returning so my 7 year old granddaughter can make things with me. We love making new things together. Kath’
