Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 6 cups Cheerios

Instructions

  • Start by greasing your baking dish or lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the white sugar and light corn syrup. Stir constantly until it comes to a gentle boil, then bubble for about 1 minute before removing from heat.
  • Quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add Cheerios and peanuts. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over and mix well.
  • Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish and press down firmly and evenly.
  • Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate to set faster. Cut into squares or rectangles to serve.

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • Parchment paper (optional)

Notes

  • Make sure your peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Don’t skip the chilling step, as it helps the bars set properly.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
