This is a little different from the rice krispie treats. You use Cheerios and peanut butter so it has that crispy, lightly peanut flavor! Really delicious, easy and fun to make, too.

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp butter
6 cups marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut or other nut butter
5 cups Cheerios
Steps:
Grease a 9 X 11 inch dish. I always save and use the paper around my sticks of butter for this. It works perfectly and then you throw the paper away!
Add butter, marshmallow and peanut butter together and heat in the microwave, one minute at a time stirring between until melted and smooth. Mine took 2 minutes, but I probably could have left it 15-30 seconds longer to make it smoother.
Pour in cereal and mix to coat.

Spread into the greased dish, pressing it down to form a tighter shaped treat.
