Power Snack - PB Cheerios bars

My new favorite snack that I discovered at the dining halls my freshman and sophomore years, and is actually really easy to make, is peanut butter & Cheerios bars.
My roommate, an elementary ed major, had a leftover box of Cheerios after using some for an activity with the kids she teaches. 
6 cups of Cheerios, 3/4 of a jar of PB, 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of corn syrup later, we had two jumbo tupperwares filled with this stuff.  Just melt all the sugary goodness first, then mix in the PB, and then the Cheerios last, until they're all covered.



Although I'm not the biggest fan of using so much corn syrup and sugar, this is a great snack to have just laying around, and a quick and easy pick-me-up early in the morning or after a long day of classes.
Another variation that I also like to make is even easier and can be made in small quantities. I just take about half a cup of Cheerios, a tablespoon of peanut butter, and a dash of honey (or sugar) and mix them all together.  


This is the end result - another great snack, or meal, if you're like me and make batch after batch in one sitting.  Enjoy!!
