Bonnie's Cheerio Snack


Here's a sweet snack recipe from Keeping Up Cookbook.  


These are great to pack up in ziploc bags and take with you on the go.  I have made these a couple of times already and can't even wait for them to cool before snacking.  They are so yummy! 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
7 cups Multi Grain Cheerios

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter.  Add brown sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil.  Simmer for 2-3 minutes, no longer.  Take off the heat, add baking soda, and stir until foamy.  Add Cheerios and stir well to coat evenly.  Transfer to prepared baking sheet and spread out in a single layer.  Bake for 10 minutes.  Let cool completely in pan, then break into pieces.  Enjoy!

  1. Rhondi, do these stay kinda soft or do they get really crunchy. I think they sound like a great treat for the school!

  2. Brandie, they are kinda soft and chewy with just a little crunch. They are best the first day.

  3. I love all the recipes you have done from the Keeping Up Cookbook, Rhondi - it sounds like a book I need to get! This one has to be one of my favourites though - I love the idea of using Cheerios in a delicious snack like this. I would be so pleased if you shared this post with The Gallery of Favorites this weekend - or if you prefer one of the other recipes you have from the Keeping Up Cookbook please feel welcome to share it instead. They all sound so good!
