Notes
- The Cheerios Flavor – I use Honey Nut Cheerios in this recipe, but any Cheerios flavor works. Depending on the sweetness of the variety used, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar in your recipe.
- The Sugar – Use brown sugar or white granulated sugar in this recipe.
- The Amount of Cheerios – Adjust the amount of Cheerios used depending on the desired crust thickness.
- Butter Amount – Adjust the butter amount a little up or down if you find the mixture does not stick together or is too sticky when mixed.
- Crushing Cheerios – If you don’t own a food processor, use a large resalable bag and rolling pin, meat mallet, or heavy sauté pan to crush the Cheerios.
