1. Start by melting that rich butter in a good ol’ skillet over medium heat. You’ll want the butter to get all foamy and fragrant, just before it starts to sing with little bubbles.

2. Now, pour those Cheerios in and give them a gentle stir to coat them evenly with the golden butter.

3. Cook ’em for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’re waiting for them to turn a lovely shade of gold and get nice and crispy. Patience is a virtue here – no rushing the goodness.

4. Once they’ve reached the peak of perfection, remove from heat.

5. Toss in sugar and cinnamon mixture, and serve!

Now don’t you go thinking that this is just a snack for the little ones. Fried Cheerios have a way of bringing out the kid in all of us. It’s the simplest of recipes that often bring the grandest smiles. So give this little gem a try – it might just be the new old favorite you’ve been looking for.
