Start off by melting the peanut butter, honey and butter in your large pot. Otherwise, it’s a chore to stir the entire mixture.

The most important tip to follow is to really use a large pot. Honey: I recommend a clear or light-colored, liquid honey for this recipe.Butter: Stick margarine can be used in place of the butter, but you can leave it out completely if you prefer.So if that’s what you have, it’s worth giving the recipe a try with the natural peanut butter! Peanut butter: I used a regular peanut butter, but I know people make these successfully with natural peanut butter.Ingredients in Cheerio Peanut Butter Bars: Peanut butter, honey, butter and Cheerio cereal. This is just an overview of the ingredients needed – scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for exact quantities and instructions. My “secret” is a tablespoon of butter melted with the peanut butter and honey… You can leave it out if you prefer, but I love how it makes the bars taste even richer. This recipe is so easy, yet so incredibly delicious. Because otherwise… You’ll spoon all of the mix right into your mouth instead of a square pan. Trust me when I tell you this: Eat something before you make these bars. These Cheerio Peanut Butter Bars are unbelievably easy – just 4 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep, then chill them in the fridge until the bars are set! A great snack, quick breakfast, simple dessert or lunchbox treat.
