Ingredients
  

4 cups Cheerios cereal

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts for crunch)

Instructions
 

Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbling.

    Add Sugar and Spice: Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt to the melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and bubbling gently. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Incorporate Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Mix with Cheerios: In a large mixing bowl, pour the Cheerios. Slowly drizzle the butter and sugar mixture over the Cheerios, stirring gently to coat each piece evenly.

          Add Optional Ingredients: If using, fold in mini marshmallows and chopped nuts for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

            Serve Warm: Allow the mixture to cool for a minute, then serve immediately in bowls while still warm for a deliciously gooey treat!
