Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
  1. In a large, non-stick pot over medium heat, combine peanut butter and honey (or syrup). Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and glossy.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in Cheerios until evenly coated, about 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer mixture into a greased baking pan, pressing it firmly for 3-5 minutes to ensure it’s compact.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes until firm.
  5. Once chilled, cut into rectangular bars and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use well-stirred peanut butter to prevent excess oil separation, and ensure thorough stirring of Cheerios to avoid crushing them. Firmly compact the mixture in the pan to maintain bar shape while cutting.
