Fried Cheerios

This is a snack I grew up on. My mom used to always make it and there were never any left-overs. It's one of the simplest snacks I make.  It's a good substitue for popcorn, especially with little ones.

You can control how much sugar you put on it too. When I've put on very little sugar, no one seems to really notice.  You can also add spices instead of cinnamon and sugar if you'd like. The possibilities are endless.

Fried Cheerios:

A large skillet (I use my 12 inch cast iron pan)
Stick of butter
cinnamon and sugar
Cheerios

It's really this simple....

Melt the butter. Add in enough Cheerios to soak up all the butter, add a little at a time. You can always add more in but it's hard to take more out if you add too many. Sprinkle on as much cinnamon and sugar as you would like. Keep stirring, on medium heat, till they start to brown. Pour into a bowl and enjoy.
