So Cory and I made a TON of these Cheerio Bars and then I wrapped them in wax paper and wrapped ribbon around them for a bit of extra flare. Cory took them to the office and they were gone in a flash.

 

They are DELICIOUS.

 

Here's what you need:

 

6 cups of Cheerios

1 bag of marshmallows

1 cup of dried cranberries (that's what the recipe calls for anyways, but I always add a bit extra. You can also substitute the dried cranberries for any other dried fruit)

1/2 a stick of unsalted butter

 

Combine the Cheerios and dried fruit in a greased 13" x 9" pan.

 

Melt the butter in a pan on medium high heat and once melted add the marshmallows.

 

Once the marshmallows are melted take it off the heat and poor it on top of the cheerio and dried fruit mixture. Stir it up so everything is coated with marshmallow and then press the mixture down into the pan so the top is even (I usually spray my hands with some pam and use them to handle the mixture).

 

Let harden for about 2 hrs. Then you can cut out perfect squares of deliciousness :)

 

Done
