4 cups Cheerios™ or Cinnamon Cheerios™ cereal
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Keep the heat low to prevent burning, about 2 minutes.

- Toss with Cinnamon Sugar: Transfer the cereal to a bowl. Mix sugar and cinnamon, then toss with the cereal to coat evenly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cereal cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately!

Peanut Butter Boost: Swap butter for peanut butter and mix in mini marshmallows for a fun twist.
