1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey and peanut butter. Stir until well mixed. Toss in the cheerioes and mix until coated.
2

Press the Cheerio™ mixture into a muffin tin sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Press each cup of Cheerioes™ down firmly, so they are well-packed together, then allow them to cool completely, about 15 minutes. (You can place them in the fridge to speed up this process, if needed!)
3

Remove the cereal cups from the muffin tin once cool. Place on a piece of parchment or plastic wrap.
4

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and yogurt JUST until melted. Stir together until smooth. Spoon mixture into a Ziploc bag. Snip a small corner off of the bag and drizzle the white chocolate-yogurt mixture over each cereal cup.
5

Store cereal cups in cupcake wrappers, if desired. Serve for breakfast, afterschool snacks, and fun midnight treats!
