Who knew that toasted Cheerios were so popular! I posted a recipe the other week for Mini Doughnut Hot Buttered Toasted Cheerios and so many people went absolutely crazy over them! A reader named, Christine commented and wanted to know if that recipe could be made in the crockpot! I wasn’t sure but I decided to give it a go since you can make Chex Mix in the slow cooker. Well, Christine, you can indeed make Mini Doughnut Hot Buttered Toasted Cheerios in the slow cooker and they are great! 

What you’ll need to Crockpot Mini Doughnut Toasted Cheerios:

• Cheerios™ OR Cinnamon Cheerios™ cereal
• butter 
• vanilla extract
• white sugar
• ground cinnamon
• crockpot/slow cooker

Add Cheerios to the bowl of a slow cooker/crockpot.

Slice butter into small pats/pieces and scatter them all over the top of the cereal. Drizzle with the vanilla extract. 

Cover with lid and set to high with a timer set to 3 hours.

After stir every 30 -45 minutes. You want to keep the bottom Cheerios from burning.

I know it’s a pain to have to tend to and stir a slow cooker recipes. However if you just let them sit there the bottom Cheerios will burn and won’t get the butter mixed onto them.
