1 11.5 oz box of Chocolate Cheerios
1 10.5 oz bag of marshmallows
3 tbls butter
1/2 cup chopped, toasted hazelnuts
Grease a 13x9 pan. Melt the butter and marshmallow in a pot over medium-low heat. When it's all melted turn off the heat and mix in the Cheerios and nuts. Quickly transfer the mixture to the prepped pan and spread/press it into it. You can use a greased piece of foil or parchment to cover it so you can press it firmly without it sticking everywhere. Let sit for ~1 hour or until firm.
Other stuff that would be good: chocolate chips, pretzels, chopped dried cherries

Ok, this is an almost pointless recipe to post, since everyone knows the cereal treat formula, but I got a couple decent pictures so I figured, what the hell?
Plus it's not your normal treats, being made with Chocolate Cheerios and hazelnuts. This is actually what my girlfriend requested for her birthday. Heh, it's not quite as weird as all that, see she had three days of birthday dinners in a row with various people and there were many baked goods consumed. So she wanted something simple and it doesn't get much more simple than this!
The treats came out wicked good, the toasted hazelnuts went perfectly with the sweet, chocolaty Cheerios, adding a more adult twist on what typically is a kids treat. Not that it being a kids treat stops me from eating them whenever they're around. Heh.So, have you guys had Chocolate Cheerios?
They're the bomb. I like Cheerios in general, particularly Honeynut, but these are my new favorite. They aren't too sweet, they basically taste like Count Chocula without the little marshmallow bits. 
Which is fine by me, I hate those things.Oh and I'm the Blog of the Day on Foodista! Excitement.
