CHANGE IT UP!

As well, these are also very versatile. You can easily change them by substituting any of these ingredients. If you add peanuts, marshmallows, or pretzels, simply replace one cup of Cheerios with one cup of peanuts (or marshmallows or pretzels). Therefore, you’ll have 1 cup of Cheerios and 1 cup of peanuts.

Dark chocolate
White chocolate
Peanuts (or any nut)
Marshmallows.
Pretzels

Furthermore, you can add festive sprinkles on top for any holiday or birthday. As well, a sprinkle of salt flakes is always good.

This is PERFECT for the holidays!

I made these they were delicious! Can I substitute peanut butter chips for the semi-sweet? Just wondering how the dark and peanut butter would go together?
