Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cheerios
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Add Vanilla: In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat and then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the butter with its rich flavor.
- Coat Cereal with Butter: Pour the Cheerios into the melted butter and mix well. Continue to cook and stir for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated and lightly toasted.
- Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: Transfer the buttered Cheerios to a large bowl. Slowly sprinkle in the white sugar and cinnamon while tossing carefully until the cereal is uniformly coated with the sweet and spicy mixture.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the hot buttered Cheerios immediately for the best taste and texture, or let cool and store in an airtight container for later snacking.
Notes
- Cook over low heat to avoid burning the butter and to evenly coat the cereal.
- Use a large bowl to toss the cereal with sugar and cinnamon for better coating.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness up to 3 days.
- For a variation, try using brown sugar or adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
