Dessert Recipes with Cheerios
This is a very easy recipe, whether you spook it up for Halloween or leave it as it is. You simply need to heat some of the ingredients up, then add the Cheerios, and let it set. Make sure you press the mixture down well in the cake pan. As it cools, the gelatin in the jello will help to stick it all together, and the corn syrup helps with that too, so when you cut it into bars, they do not fall apart.
Maybe you have made a recipe combining cereal with other ingredients before or perhaps this is your first one. Whichever is the case, you will find this recipe easy to make.
As with many jello recipes you can alter this one a little if you want to, adding some melted chocolate or chocolate chips to the mixture when you add the Cheerios. Miniature marshmallows, coconut flakes, or raisins are also nice in this recipe.
You can use a different flavor of jello if you want, too. Orange jello would be nice or lemon jello. These bars can also be made with sugar free jello, to keep them a bit healthier. You could even use a different type of cereal if you wanted. You can enjoy them for breakfast or as a snack at any time during the day.
