Dulce de Leche Bars

One of my  favorite treats  to make when I need something fast consists of  cereal and marshmallows.  They are quick, easy, hard to mess up, and there is little clean up.  These cereal bars are made with Dulce de Leche Cheerios.  I didn't even know they made such as flavor.   I can say they are good. In fact, it was a good thing I premeasured my ingredients because when I went to put the box away it was practically empty -  I had "cereal tasters" in the kitchen.  To the cereal you add marshmallows, golden raisins, and butterscotch morsels.  The caramel flavor from the Cheerios and the butterscotch morsels  are a delicious combination in these bars. These treats are not only for kids - adults love them too.
