These no-bake peanut butter Cheerio bars are wonderfully sweet, delightfully crunchy, and oh-so chewy!

But be warned: they’re also pretty addictive.

Besides being one of the most addictive snacks known to man, these babies are also incredibly easy to make.

Check the recipe’s ingredients, and you’ll see what I mean!

You’ll only need three things, and I’m sure you already have them in your pantry.

There’s also no baking necessary. Just melt, mix, refrigerate, and boom! You’re done!

So, if you’re looking for a fool-proof snack or sweet treat your family will rave about for days, these peanut butter Cheerio bars are the answer.

Like Rice Krispie treats, peanut butter Cheerio bars are a heavenly mix of something sticky and sweet with a popular breakfast cereal.

In this case, you’ll need honey and peanut butter to hold the Cheerios together.

This trio creates a crunchy, ooey-gooey, and sweet-n-salty treat you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dessert.

Or, if you’re obsessed like me, you’ll probably munch on them at midnight when no one’s watching.

As mentioned, this recipe calls for just three pantry staples:

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and grease it with non-stick spray or butter.

It’s important to use this pan size to yield perfectly thick cereal bars.

While you’re at it, grease your hands and all the tools you’ll use to keep the honey from sticking.

2. Melt the peanut butter and honey.

You can do this in a saucepan over the stovetop or in the microwave. 

The two key things are to heat the mixture on low and to use a container large enough that you can liberally toss the Cheerios in.

3. Add the Cheerios to the peanut butter and honey mixture.

Add the Cheerios and toss until they’re well coated with the peanut butter and honey.

4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and refrigerate to set.

Firmly pack the cereal mixture into the pan and cover it with plastic wrap or foil. Let it set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

5. Slice with a sharp serrated knife into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Even with just three ingredients, these bars are one of the most delectable snacks I’ve ever had.

Care to make them even more scrummy? Easy! There are tons of add-ins and variations you can make to shake things up.

Experiment with these suggestions and let me know how yours turns out:

Once they’ve set, store the bars in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for a week.

If coming from the fridge, let them thaw to room temperature before serving.

For sure! Just double wrap each individual bar tightly in plastic wrap and foil and pop them in the freezer.

Let them come to room temperature overnight before serving.

Frozen peanut butter Cheerio bars will keep well for up to 3 months.
