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 (Hot Buttered Cheerios)

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

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!

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar, set aside.

Using a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat then add vanilla, stir well. Next, add cheerios, coating evenly in butter. Cook for 3 minutes, until cheerios are lightly toasted.

Tip

These can be served warm or at room temperature. I actually like them best at room temp.
