I am still having a difficult time keeping the cookie jar full of these. But now a new deliciously easy treat is proving difficult to keep in The Honey Hut as well. I adapted these Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cereal Bars to be more like healthy granola bars for an easy healthy sweet snack.
1. Melt a half stick of butter over medium heat.
2. Mix in 4-5 cups of mini marshmellows, 1/4 t. salt and 3/4 cup of natural peanut butter.
3. Pour melted mixture over 8 cups of puffed-rice cereal. I didn't use a chocolate flavored rice cereal as I was trying to make these as healthy as possible. I used my favorite...Special K.
4. After letting the mixture cool slightly, stir in 1/2 cup peanuts (or peanut butter chips) and 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips.
5. Press into a large greased square or rectangular baking dish and let stand 20-40 minutes.
6. Cut up into bars and wrap with parchment paper if you like. Store in an airtight container.
Yum...headed to the kitchen now.
These look so good, I'm going to try them!
