Didi's "I Can't Believe You Used Up My Whole Box of Cheerios" Squares
By: Mirj
Jun 20, 2002
My daughter Adiya (AKA Didi) adores Cheerios. No one else is allowed to eat out of her box. God help any one of her sisters if they eat some of HER Cheerios. Since she's a picky kid and has the temper of Rosemary's Baby, we let her get away with this, better than picking a fight. Anyway... one day when she was out at a friend's house I came across this recipe in a magazine, and the urge just took over, and I broke into one of Didi's sacred boxes of Cheerios. You should have heard that kid shriek. Still, she shut up pretty quickly when I jammed one of these into her mouth. Now we each have our own box of Cheerios, and got help anyone else in the family who steals even on "O"!

Perfect for a Halloween treat for my child! She even helped me measure out the cherios. I split the goey mixture into two small cake pans lined with wax paper, sprinked one with additional mini marshmallows and sprinkled the other one with spanish style peaunts. Then I pressed them into the pan. Delish when cooled! Can't wait to try other variations...Thanks for posting!

This recipe was a great way for me to make some high protein /high fiber squares with ingredients that agree with me! I used Trader Joe's High fiber O's with high protein and their Almond butter. I topped it off with 1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips and presto- I had a super substitute for the high fiber bars that are so popular right now- but with no ill gastro efffects. I will make these often
Thank you for sharing Mirj! PS I used a serrated bread knife to cut the squares with as I really pressed them into the pan for dense squares.

I had a serious problem with this recipe. I did not discover until after I was finished making it that some totally incompetent bozo at the margarine packaging plant had put a whole bunch of margarine into boxes marked “butter”. I hope these idiots realize what an inconvenience they caused me, because now I am going to be forced to eat this whole tray of squares and then make them yet again (this time using the right ingredient, of course) in order to determine if they really do taste any worse made with margarine than with butter. Hell, for that matter, I’ll probably be forced to make a third batch with ghee, also for taste comparison purposes. By that time, I’ll have forgotten what they tasted like with unsalted butter, so I might feel obligated to make ‘em with butter again. Vicious circle, isn’t it?

This treat was a huge hit at my office party! I had several comments about it being healthier than Rice Crispy treats, and many came back for seconds. I did all the melting in the microwave and used super chunky pb, and from start to finish, it took around 10 minutes--quick results--my kind of cooking! Thanks Mirjam.
