Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups plain Cheerios Use original Cheerios for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup butter Use real butter for better flavor.
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar Adjust to taste; mix cinnamon and sugar to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the butter in a roomy skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the plain Cheerios to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with butter.
  3. Toast the Cheerios in the butter, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and aromatic.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately toss with cinnamon sugar in the skillet.
  5. Pour the Cheerios into a bowl to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For variations, consider using cocoa powder mixed with powdered sugar instead of cinnamon sugar, or add a pinch of nutmeg. For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil.
