ISO Cheerio bar receipes

[DrSally]

I know this should be super easy, but I'm not a huge cook. Hit me with your best Cheerio bar receipes. I just started craving them. I like the crunch of the cheerios better than rice krispies. It seems that some people use corn syrup and some use marshmallows. My mom used to make rice krispies with peanut butter and sunflower seeds (loved them this way).

I was thinking of stirring in some sunbutter (DS will only eat soybutter on sandwiches, but I'm wondering if he will like the taste of sunbutter mixed in a dessert). Maybe either mixing in some choc chips or melting them and drizzling over the top. Does anyone add any vanilla? Anything else crunchy that I could add?

I was thinking of just using the plain o's. The flavored O's might be nice, but there's already a lot of sugar with the marshmallows, right?
