Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
3 cups Cheerios

Instructions

Prepare Your Pan: Line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars later.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Add Cheerios: Gently fold in the Cheerios, ensuring they are evenly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture for the ideal texture.
Press into Pan: Transfer the combined mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press down firmly with your hands or a spatula to form an even layer.
Chill and Cut: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set properly. Once firm, lift the mixture out using the parchment paper and cut into bars or squares as desired.

Notes

You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
Use gluten-free Cheerios if gluten is a concern.
Press the mixture firmly to ensure the bars hold together well once chilled.
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For added variety, consider mixing in some mini chocolate chips or dried fruit.
