Mini Doughnut Fried Cheerios

Today I am sharing a sweet new twist on an old school classic snack, Mini Doughnut Fried Cheerios (aka, Mini Doughnut Hot Buttered Cheerios)!

MINI DOUGHNUT FRIED CHEERIOS – Cheerios “fried” in butter with a hint of vanilla, then tossed in cinnamon and sugar – an addictive treat!

Read great reviews from people who tried this recipe on Pinterest!

Last year I shared an old school snack I grew up with, Fried Cheerios (aka, Classic Hot Buttered Cheerios), readers loved reminiscing and many found a great new recipe. Today I am sharing a sweet version found on Betty Crocker. Betty Crocker says this snack tastes like everyone’s favorite fair food – I agree!

This tasty treat takes just a few minutes to make and only calls for five ingredients – Cheerios, butter, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon.

This is another treat to add to movie night (instead of popcorn). These are a little messy, but oh so good.  Be sure to have napkins on hand and be ready to refill bowls!
