Instructions

Combine peanut butter and honey: In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the peanut butter and honey until smooth and fully combined, being careful not to let the mixture boil.
Mix in Cheerios: Remove the saucepan from heat immediately and stir in the Cheerios cereal until they are evenly coated with the peanut butter and honey mixture.
Form bites: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray or press the mixture into a lined baking dish, shaping them as you prefer.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the formed bites for 15 to 20 minutes until they become firm.
Serve and store: Enjoy these no-bake snack bites immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later snacking.

Notes

Do not boil the peanut butter and honey mixture to avoid burning or separating.
Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking while chilling.
You can press the mixture into a baking dish and cut into bars instead of spooning bite-sized portions.
Store in the fridge to keep the bites firm and fresh for up to a week.
For a twist, add mix-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or a sprinkle of sea salt before chilling.
