Peanut Butter Cherrio Treats

February 4, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How is your weekend going so far?  For me, boring.  I haven’t done too much but today were celebrating little Jenny’s 20th birthday so were going to a Hibachi Grill for dinner, yum and I haven’t decided what we’ll do during the day.  Remember being 20?  Oh so young and innocent with a whole world ahead of you.

Speaking of being young, I decided to make a kids treat that is good for kids of all ages and that included adults.  This little treat brings out the kids in all of us!

Yup you guessed it it’s Peanut Butter Cheerios!  You knew this had to be coming when I posted the box of cereal the other day!  I am so addicted to this cereal.  I put it in my yogurt everyday and I eat it by the handfuls everyday.  I love it!  I like to look at them as little hugs.  You know X’s and O’s.


I told my Husband I am giving him a tray of hugs to take to work with him.  There just so cute!  He took them to work and said everyone loved them and they all got eaten!  yah!!  A lot of time’s he’ll bring some of the left overs back, but he said none on this batch, everyone ate them first thing in the morning.  Doesn’t it make you feel good when people like what you made?  Even as simple and easy as Cheerio treats?

I made these the same way as I did regular Rice Krispie treats.  However you could add 1/2 cup of peanut butter to give it more of a peanut butter flavor, but I opted out on it, because it saved me about 25 calories, per piece and when I made these I ate two right off the bat.  They are to dangerous for me, that’s why they went work with Hubby, to good to keep around my house.  I could easily eat half a pan.  I have no self-control when it comes to sweets, especially the sweets that taste like peanut butter.  I need serious help, I really do!!

Cheerio Treats

Ingredients:

2 tbsp light butter spread

4 cups or 10.5 oz pkg. mini marshmallows

6 cups Peanut Butter Cheerios

cooking spray

Directions:

Spray a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Heat a large saucepan on low heat. Melt butter spread. Add marshmallows and melt on low flame. Stir until completely melted, then remove from heat.

Add Cheerios to the melted marshmallows, and stir until completely combined (you will need muscles here). Press into the pan using wax paper.

Serving Size: 24 2 inch pieces

Calories per treat:  82,  Fat:  .09,  Sodium:  61,  Potassium:  21,  Carbs:  18,  Fiber:  .07,  Sugar:  10.5,  Protein:  1.1

You could serve these treats for the Super Bowl too!!  They will definitely get gobbled up!  Not to mention it will take you about 10 minutes to put together!  If your still looking for other ideas on what to make check out my post from yesterday.  It’s 21 of my favorite treats, snacks and appetizers that I think will be good for a Super Bowl party!

Here’s bite mark number 2 on my treat!  So darn good!!!  I saved some for Jenny, and she has four left in the cupboard do you think she’ll notice if one or two are missing?

Well my friends, time to relax for the rest of my Friday and maybe do some stretching.  My body is stiff from sitting all day and I didn’t exercise today, so tomorrow morning I need to burn it up or I won’t meet my weekly goal!  Have a great day!  Remember to give some Cheerio Treats to loved ones and tell them there a bunch of hugs held together with your sweetness!  Who could resist that?

    Hello there! I just discovered your blog– I think from a comment on Two Peas and their pod? But now I can’t remember.

    Anyway, I love it! I am also 30 something and living with one bad dog (I have no idea what we’d do with TWO)! So I feel your pain/joy on that one. I am really looking forward to reading more of your posts–they seem great!

    Have a good weekend–take care!

      Yes, we started out with one bad dog and figured if we get another it will calm her down and it did, but he makes up for it. My little Sampson is definitely a bad dog!!

      Glad you found me, stop back again! have a wonderful weekend!!

    I love that you called these a tray full of hugs. What a cute idea. The pb cheerios sound wonderful. I have not seen them in my stores. I will have to keep an eye out for them because I think they’d be a huge hit.

      If you find them beware! They are addicting, and I was never a cheerios person and I can’t stop eating them. There not super sweet which I like but I get the peanut butter flavor which I love!!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
