Hey-Nay

A place to be enlightened, encouraged & inspired

Cheerios Bar

May 21, 2019

 

FUNNY STORY:

I keep my grocery list on my fridge.  Everyone knows that’s where they put stuff they need from the store.

I have one rule, if it’s not on the list, it doesn’t get bought.

Last week, RJ wrote Cheerios.  So I bought Cheerios….the plain old school basic Cheerios. When I set it on the counter, he shrieked and said “That’s not what I wanted!”  I showed him the list. The list clearly said….Cheerios.  

Apparently he wanted Honey Nut Cheerios, because above all else, I should be able to read minds.  Now mind you, I didn’t just buy the small box of Cheerios. I bought the FAMILY SIZE which means a hell of a lot of cheerios needs to be eaten. 1 entire pound to be exact.  

Since he wasn’t going to voluntarily eat these doggone plain Cheerios, I had to come up with something because one way or another these damn cheerios needs to be eaten. I racked my brain for a few minutes and came up with something similar to Rice Krispy treats.  

 I put some of his favorite things in it – marshmallows, peanut butter & nutella.  This took me all of 10 minutes from start to finish and dare I say they taste pretty damn delish!  When my daughter got home she had 2 bars without any coaxing.

This means 3 things: 

  1. It’s delish 
  2. If she’s eating it, then everyone will eat it
  3. I win, the Cheerios will be gone in no time.

Here’s my Cheerios bar recipe. It’s super yummy. I also provide a few options to make it healthier. 

I hope you enjoy it!  Tag me on Instagram if you make it @heynayheyyy
