To make these cheerio treats you'll need:

Nonstick Pan - a good noonstick pan helps to keep your marshmallows from turning into a cleanup nightmare.

Mixing Spoon - a large, steady spoon (nonstick a plus!) is a must for this recipe.

Parchment Paper - mandatory if you want easy to release cheerios bars.

Baking dish - high walled dishes best for these treats.

If you're looking for perfect soft and delicious cheerios treats, be sure to follow my troubleshooting tips below:

• If it’s really humid, the treats might remain sticky.
• I recommend spraying the parchment paper with nonstick spray and letting the treats set in the fridge instead of on the counter.
• Coat hands with nonstick spray to prevent the mixture from sticking when you press it into the pan.

• It’s important to heat the butter and marshmallows over low or medium heat because heating it over high heat can cause hard treats.

• Use any flavor of Cheerios you’d like and customize them by adding sprinkles or drizzling or dipping in chocolate.

These cheerios treats are simple to make if you've ever made rice krispies treats - but if you haven't, this quick guide can help you get perfect easy cheerios bars every time.

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large pot, melt the butter and 8 cups of marshmallows over medium heat until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, Cheerios, and remaining marshmallows until fully coated.

Transfer to the prepared baking pan and gently press the mixture into the pan.

Cool at room temperature for 1 hour before cutting.
