Method
Put Cheerios in large bowl and set aside. Put butter or margarine in a 6 qt sauce pan and start to melt. Put butterscotch in microwave bowl dish, set for 3 minutes or until soft. Pour the softened butterscotch into the sauce pan with the butter or margarine, coconut and marshmallows on low heat and stir continually until marshmallows are completely melted. Immediately remove from heat and add vanilla. Then, pour the marshmallow mixture immediately over cheerios, mix thoroughly together and pour into 2 13x9'x2" pans to cool, cut into bars.
Notes: My husband is a big kid and loves butterscotch. On a icy cold winter night, I made this up for him, and I won his heart again after 22 years of marriage!
Number of Servings: app:40 depending on how they are cut.
