Chocolate Cheerios – A Perfect Touch Of Chocolate – Review, Recipe, and Giveaway!

by ahappyhippymom | 25th January 2010

Have you tried General Mills Chocolate Cheerios?  Each bite of the chocolaty goodness has a balance of healthy whole grain combined with a perfect touch of chocolate to delight your taste buds.  One yummy serving of Chocolate Cheerios has 9 grams of sugar,  at least 8 grams of whole grain, is low in fat, and is only 100 calories.   The cereal is a good source of calcium and vitamin D too!  Your kiddos will enjoy the sweet taste of real cocoa and you will love they are starting off their day with a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

General Mills (through MyBlogSpark) sent me a Chocolate Cheerios gift pack that including a box of Chocolate Cheerios, a chocolate scented spa kit, a ceramic cereal bowl, product information, and some suggested recipes.  I tried making the Chocolate Cheerios Marshmallow Hearts.  The recipe was fairly easy to make and a great snack to prepare for handing out on Valentines Day!  My suggestion is if you plan on trying this recipe is to make sure you have a very sharp heart shaped cookie cutter and to chill the mixture before you attempt to cut  it.  The only alterations I made to the recipe was to dust the Chocolate Cheerios Marshmallow Hearts with powdered sugar and I served them with a few slices of strawberries.  My daughter, son, and hubby thought they were incredible!  Here is the recipe…

Chocolate Cheerios Marshmallow Hearts

Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Start to Finish: 1 Hour 45 Minutes

Crust
1 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 cup Chocolate Cheerios® cereal, crushed
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups miniature marshmallows

Topping
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 bag (11.5 ounces) milk chocolate chips
4 cups Chocolate Cheerios® cereal
Candy sprinkles, if desired

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of 13×9-inch pan with foil. In large bowl, mix all crust ingredients except marshmallows with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly. Press firmly into bottom of pan.
  2. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle with marshmallows. Return to oven; bake an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until marshmallows just begin to puff. Cool while preparing topping.
  3. In large saucepan, place all topping ingredients except cereal and sprinkles. Heat over medium-low heat just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in 4 cups cereal. Immediately spoon warm topping over marshmallows; spread to cover. Sprinkle with candy sprinkles. Cool completely, at least 1 hour.
  4. Using foil to lift, remove mixture from pan; remove foil. With deep 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 18 hearts. Store loosely covered.

    Oh, those look sooo good!! I haven’t seen them in the store here yet.

    We usually start around 5:30am by getting the animals fed (horses, pig, chickens, etc) and then eat breakfast. Getting up that early just makes the day better for some reason.
