Dulce de Leche Cheerios® Bars

Tips

To crush the pretzels, place in a food-storage plastic bag and crunch them with your hands.

To make cutting easier, you can line the pan with parchment or waxed paper extending over the sides of the pan. Then after baking, lift the bars from the pan and cut them on a cutting board.
