Notes

You can use any type of cereal you like for this recipe, but Cheerios or oat o's work best for their shape and texture.
For a healthier version, you can substitute the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
Be sure to stir the cereal mixture well every minute during microwaving to ensure even toasting and coating.
