In any snack mix that involves Cheerios, I will inevitably find them and pick out every single one to eat for myself. I’m basically a toddler. Don’t take my Cheerios.

So why not make an entire snack mix full of super yummy, flavorful Cheerios. Specifically buttery, cinnamon Cheerios. It’s the obvious choice. These are so good, so addicting and so easy to make. Just a skillet, Cheerios, butter, sugar and cinnamon. All the good things in one pan.

These went really quickly in our house. A handful here, a handful there. Perfect snack mix for tv watching or just walking through the kitchen.

I’m thinking a savory version is next up to try. Check out the easy recipe below and let me know what you think!
