These are an easy and fun treat for kids to help make. They are also so
simple that you won’t mind when your kids ask you to make them. They are even great for bake sales. You can dress them up a bit by
sprinkling a little colored sugar on them while they are still warm.
Red and green give them a nice holiday look.
1 cup of light corn syrup
1 cup of sugar
1 1/2 cups of peanut butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
6 cups of Cheerios
1/2 cup of coconut (optional)
In a large bowl, mix the cereal and the coconut.
Set this aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the sugar and syrup.
Bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
Remove after 1 minute of boiling.
Add the peanut butter and vanilla to the saucepan and stir well.
Pour the mixture over the cereal and mix well.
Drop by the spoonful on waxed
paper to let cool.
