Step 3

Stir in Worcestershire Sauce and seasoned salt.

Step 4

Turn heat to medium-low, add Cheerios and stir.

Continue cooking and stirring another 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the cereal – burned Cheerios are less than tastyJ

They are done once the sugar has dissolved and has caramelized.
