Cheer-up Cheerio!

What happens when you open the cabinet to discover that you already have one box of cheerios (yes, I believe great things come in pairs, but this is a lot of cheerios...):

Well, naturally you combine the abundance of cereal with other delicious ingredients:

Cheer-up Cheerios Bars

• 3 C cheerios
• 1/2 C organic peanut butter
• 1/4 C local honey
• 1/4 C organic sorghum
• 1/4 C organic pure cane sugar
• Dried organic cherries
• Organic dark chocolate chips
• Combine honey, sorghum, sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves
• Add peanut butter
• Mix cheerios and cherries in a bowl; add warm wet ingredients and mix
• Press into 8x8 glass pan
• Optional: I covered the top of half of the bars with chocolate chips and placed under the broiler on low until soft, then spread with a knife
