Need a little afternoon snack to get you through til dinner? These little bars are a favorite around our house. As easy as Rice Krispie treats, but a whole lot tastier in my opinion. There's something about the crunch and flavor of the Cheerios in these bars that I just love. So a quick, easy, kinda-not-terrible treat for you...plus your kids will love to help make them!
Cranberry Cereal Bars
4 Tbs butter
1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
6 cups Cheerios (or other toasted O kinda cereal)
1/2 tsp salt (sounds weird, but critical- don't omit!)
1 cup dried cranberries
Spray a 9x13 dish lightly with cooking spray. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in marshmallows. Stir constantly until completely melted. Remove from heat and add cereal, salt and cranberries. Immediately transfer to prepared pan and pat into place firmly. (I usually use a large spoon sprayed with cooking spray to keep from sticking.) Let cool about an hour. Cut into 24 bars and enjoy!

Thanks for a new recipe - All the others I have swiped from you are keepers! Yummy!
These look yummy! I was wondering the other day if I could make rice krispie treats using coconut oil instead of butter. You may have inspired me to just go ahead and try!
