This vintage recipe for Hot Buttered Cheerios also known as fried cheerios is a keeper.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We read that this recipe was popular in the 70’s and 80’s, so we had to try it immediately! You know how we love old recipes. We tried this one and all agreed.. it’s a winner. The combination of vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar is so good! Plus, these come together in about 5 minutes and are great to enjoy while watching a movie.
SWAPS
We used Honey Nut Cheerios in this recipe, but you can use any you like. You can also use any generic brand you like; it will still be good! These are delicious, warm right out of the pan!
⭐TIP
We love these warm right out of the skillet but if you must store them do so in an airtight container.
