Elf-approved snack: Maple syrup-glazed Cheerio doughnuts with candy sprinkles - a festive treat to enchant even the pickiest elves.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup white vanilla baking chips
  • 1/2 cup Cheerios™ cereal
  • 2 tablespoons candy sprinkles
  • 6 cups Corn Chex™ or Rice Chex™ cereal
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
Instructions:
  • Melt white vanilla baking chips in a small microwavable bowl on High for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth. Mix in Cheerios cereal, spread on waxed paper in a single layer, and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles. Allow it to set for about 30 minutes, then break into pieces and keep aside.
  • Place the Chex cereal in a large microwave-safe bowl while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • Melt butter in a 2-cup glass measuring cup on High in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar and maple syrup, then microwave uncovered on High for another 30 seconds until boiling. Pour over Chex cereal in a bowl and stir until well coated.
  • Microwave the Chex cereal mixture on High for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every minute until it just starts to brown. Spread it on waxed paper or foil to cool for about 15 minutes. Break it into bite-size pieces and mix in miniature marshmallows and reserved Cheerios cereal. Store it in an airtight container.
