Ingredients You’ll Need
Serves 4
For the Base:
4 cups Cheerios (or any similar cereal)
4 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cereal
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheerios, melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated with the buttery mixture. Be careful not to crush the Cheerios.
Step 2: Heat & Serve
Warm the coated Cheerios in the microwave for 30–60 seconds , stirring halfway through, to enhance the buttery flavor and soften slightly. Alternatively, heat them in a skillet over low heat for a stovetop version.
Step 3: Make the Glaze (Optional)
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired glaze consistency—it should be thin enough to drizzle but thick enough to coat.
Step 4: Assemble the Dish
Divide the warm Cheerios among serving bowls. Drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Add sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings as desired.
Step 5: Enjoy
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the delightful combination of buttery crunch and sweet glaze.
