Almond Butter Cheerio Bites


{what you will need}

{directions}
Begin by making the almond butter: place almonds in a food processor and allow to run for 8-10 minutes or until desired consistency is reached {you may need to stop the food processor to push the almonds down towards the blade every so often}. Once the almond butter is a smooth and creamy texture, measure out 1 1/2 cup {mine made exactly this amount}. Melt the Karo, honey and almond butter together in a small pan over low heat until completely combined. Meanwhile, place the Cheerios in a large bowl and add the crushed banana chips; combine completely. When the almond butter mixture is combined and melted, pour over the Cheerio mixture and mix together with a rubber spatula, working quickly because this is a pretty sticky mixture! Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Form the Cheerio bites into 1 tablespoon clusters and place on the wax paper. You can also place the Cheerio mixture into a greased pan and cut into bars/squares {as pictured at the top}. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to set. Serve at room temperature and store in an air tight container for up to a week.
