These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cups are an easy, kid-friendly treat made with just a few pantry staples.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Chill Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Servings: Makes 12 cups

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Cheerios (plain or Honey Nut)
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: Mini chocolate chips or crushed peanuts for topping

Instructions:

1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or silicone cups.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and honey. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
3. Pour the melted mixture over the Cheerios in a large bowl and stir gently to coat evenly.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down lightly to form compact cups. Add optional toppings if desired.

6. Enjoy straight from the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve cold for the best crunch and texture.
• Great for lunchboxes, after-school treats, or party trays.

Tips:

• Use natural peanut butter for a softer texture, or traditional PB for a firmer cup.
• Swap Cheerios for other cereals like Rice Krispies or cornflakes for variation.
• Add chopped dried fruit or shredded coconut for fun mix-ins.
