Tiny little circles of pure amazingness! Quick, easy and so delicious!
Not much flavor and Cheerios tasted really salty and we used unsalted butter
So sorry you didn’t like them! So strange that they turned out salty with no salt in the recipe.
Made this today. So yummy may make more tomorrow. Thank you for this easy recipe. Definitely a 5 star recipe
Thank you! So happy you liked it!
Delicious!!
Thank you! So glad you liked them!
Awesome flavor! A hit at the meeting I took them to. One quick question about the savory hot sauce variation. How much hot sauce to the butter?
So happy you liked them! For the hot sauce variation- I would start with 1 Tablespoon and then taste it to see if you want more kick before adding the cheerios.
