Same exact recipe on the marshmallow bag for rice crispy treats. You’re just adding a different cereal and peanut butter. I used more peanut butter and used cinnamon Cheerios that give these a nice hint of flavor.

Thanks MeShell for recipe, as I misplaced mine & found this one quickly. I always use regular cheerios, sugared cereal too sweet for us. Hint for those with issues: fresh marshmallows is key for a no fail treat.

I really enjoyed these my sister used to make them as a holiday treat - was so glad to finely find the recipe----

I use Multigrain Cheerios and add dried cranberries or blueberries, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Really good!

Great way to us up cereal I bought for the holidays to make Chex Mix. I didn't have enough cheerios (I used plain ones) so I added Rice Chex and Corn Chex. I also added a cup of chocolate chips. They are delicious.
