Ingredients:

3 Tbsp butter
6 cups marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut or other nut butter
5 cups Cheerios

Steps:

Grease a 9 X 11 inch dish. I always save and use the paper around my sticks of butter for this. It works perfectly and then you throw the paper away!

Add butter, marshmallow and peanut butter together and heat in the microwave, one minute at a time stirring between until melted and smooth. Mine took 2 minutes, but I probably could have left it 15-30 seconds longer to make it smoother.

Spread into the greased dish, pressing it down to form a tighter shaped treat.

Refrigerate an hour and it's ready to enjoy!
