Easy to make snack for kids! Choose any add ins your kids like!
Ingredients
  • 2 cups plain Cheerios
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter, sunflower seed butter etc)
  • ¼ cup honey (or agave)
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. In a larger bowl, add in the Cheerios and add ins you'll be using. We liked coconut, dried cranberries & chocolate chips.
  2. In a small microwave safe bowl, add together the peanut butter and honey. Stir until combined.
  3. Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove, give a stir and place back in and microwave for 30 seconds more. You want the peanut butter and honey to get a little thinner from the heat.
  4. Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture over the cereal and add ins, stir until evenly coated.
  5. Put about ¼ cup of the mixture into a muffin cup (silicone or paper cups work best).
  6. Place in a container and store in the fridge.
Notes
*** use whatever you like for add ins. Coconut, dried cranberries & chocolate chips are what I used, but just put in whatever your kids like.
