Step 1

To a glass bowl, add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla (if using), and microwave for 1 minute.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture until well combined, then mix in the cheerios and make sure that all of the cheerios are well coated with the honey peanut butter mixture.

Step 3

Press into Pan: Press the mixture into a lined 8x8 inch pan and use a spatula or your hands to press it down.

Step 4

Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set. This will make the bars easy to remove from the pan and cut cleanly.

Step 5

Remove from pan and cut into 9 tasty squares. For small kids or if you’re adding these to a dessert tray, feel free to cut them into triangles or smaller squares.
