SERVES 4
4 cups CheeriosŪ cereal
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons butter, melted
2 cup frozen whipped topping, 8oz
2 tablespoon lime juice
4 containers (6 oz each) Key lime pie yogurt
1 . Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet and 12x12-inch sheet of foil with cooking spray.
In food processor, place cereal and sugar; process with on-and-off motions until fine crumbs form.
Add water and melted butter; process until thoroughly mixed.
2 . Spread cereal mixture evenly in center of cookie sheet. Use foil, sprayed side down, to press cereal mixture slightly; roll with rolling pin into rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
With sharp knife, score mixture into 1-inch squares.
