MarthaStewartWanabe's Note:

This recipe is a fun version of marshmallow-bound cereal bars using Cheerios with a surprising burst of cinnamon and chewy dried cranberries. To change it up a bit, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios could substitute for regular Cheerios. This was a big hit with my kids, and I have to say I quite enjoyed them as well. (Please note preparation time includes one hour of cooling time).
