Cheerio Treats

Ok don't judge me but I love Seth MacFarlane and I think he did a good job hosting the Oscars. Now I now he's not for everyone and his jokes sometimes offend people but if you watch Family Guy you would understand that's his kind of comedy. Yes maybe the joke about Chris Brown abusing Rihanna was in bad taste but come on! And as far as him being super sexist and having a thing for making fun of women, I'm a woman and I laughed quite a bit. But then again I know his humor. I think the biggest issue with him hosting was the fact that there were a lot of people that don't understand his humor and that didn't really know who he was. I thought he was a great choice for hosting the Oscars because he is a natural showman and he can sing. Now I know that's not a good reason for hosting an awards show but I'm sure it helps. He's funny, he has great comedic timing, and hey he has a wonderful voice. But this is all just my opinion. If you didn't like him, fine, but I know for a fact that there have been worst hosts for the Oscars. As much as I love Billy Crystal he didn't do that great last year. And can we remember the disaster that was Anne Hathaway and James Franco? While I love Anne I don't think she should of been paired with James. But again I'm biased because I love Seth and thought he was a great choice despite his kind of crude sense of humor. 

Now time for a treat. Today is a quick no bake one. Cheerio Treats. When I found them on Pinterest I was excited to try them. I really wanted to make them for my daughter but turns out mommy and daddy liked them more than she did! 

Thank you Kathie Cooks for the recipe.

Cheerio Treats

Ingredients

1 c. sugar

1 c. corn syrup

1 c. creamy peanut butter

1 t. vanilla

5 c. Cheerios 

Directions

1. In a large sauce pan, combine sugar and corn syrup. Bring to boil over medium heat.  Allow mixture to boil for one minute and remove from heat.

2. Add peanut butter and vanilla to mixture and mix until smooth.

3. Add Cheerios and mix until all coated.

4. Drop mixture by spoonful onto waxed paper and allow to cool. Makes approximately 2 dozen.

 I used regular cheerios but you can use any kind you like.

While I was able to get 2 dozen out of these I actually got a few more. I think the final count was 28. And because of this the PPV is 4 per treat.

They are very chewy and sweet. I used natural peanut butter and regular cheerios to cut the sweetness down a bit.

When you store them make sure you store them one layer at a time with a sheet of wax paper in between each layer. I put them all way together without the wax paper and it turned into one big blob!

I really enjoyed these and so did everyone else. Try them out and let me know if you like them

Till next time! Amy Sue *^_^*
