Recipe: No-Bake Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cheerio Chocolate Squares

Whew! Even the name is a mouthful.  These yummy squares I made up when looking for a baking recipe with my son.  They mostly came about because we had all the ingredients.  He, of course, doesn’t eat the squares (why. I don’t know – he likes all the parts separately! ha!) but he loved snacking on everything individually.

This would be a perfect activity during March Break to do together – I put all the ingredients in bowls ahead of time and let him ‘taste test’ them all while we cooked.  Enjoy the time together!

Ingredients:

2 cups marshmallows

1/3 (or more 😉 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup peanut butter

4 cups regular Cheerios*

Directions:

1-On stovetop melt peanut butter and butter.

2-Add marshmallows and continue to melt

3-When marshmallows have melted, add Cheerios, 2 cups at a time. Mix well.

4-Press into greased 8 x8 pan.

5-Press chocolate chips on top.

Let cool – they will firm up.  Enjoy!

*You could use Rice Krispies, but you may have to adjust the number of cups, I’m not sure. I had both but went with Cheerios because they have more salt which I thought would play well with the PB and chocolate. yum 😉
