Make easy no-bake bars in the microwave for a cool and sweet treat without the heat in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
  • 6 cups Honey Nut Cheerios™ cereal
  • 1 bag (14 oz) vanilla caramels, unwrapped
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
  • 1/4 cup M&M's® minis chocolate candies
Instructions:
  • Coat the bottom and sides of a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Transfer cereal to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Microwave caramels and water in a medium bowl, uncovered, on High for 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 4 minutes, stirring every minute until smooth. Take it out of the microwave.
  • Drizzle caramel mixture over cereal and stir until evenly coated, then gently fold in marshmallows. Transfer the mixture into a pan and use a buttered spoon to press it down evenly.
  • Microwave a mix of chocolate chips and shortening in a small bowl until smooth, stirring every minute. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture, sprinkle with M&M's™ minis, then refrigerate until firm, for about 1 hour.
  • Cut the cereal mixture into 36 bars using a table knife, then store in a loosely covered container.
