Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Cheerios
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon corn syrup I used homemade corn syrup. You could also use honey, agave, or any other thick, syrupy sweetener.
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients in a pot and heat on medium for about three minutes, stirring to coat all of the Cheerios. (The heat causes the corn syrup to liquify, which helps the powdered sugar stick to the Cheerios.)
  • Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
