Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
½ cup butter
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup nonfat dry milk
4 cups cheerios (or whatever you have on hand—we like a combination of
cheerios and rice krispies)
¼ cup orange flavored instant drink
32 large marshmallows or 3 cups mini
Butter square pan. Melt butter and marshmallows. Stir in peanut butter
until melted. Stir in milk and breakfast drink. Fold in cheerios. with
buttered hands, press into pan.
My notes: My mom made these for us and I have no idea where she got the
recipe. It sounds weird but they are really good. The original recipe
called for ¼ cup of raisins to be stirred in as well, though we normally
leave them out. The amounts have always seemed a little off to me--how
can 32 large marshmallows = 3 cups of mini?? Who knows! I normally
double the recipe and use less butter and slightly more marshmallows. If
I double the recipe, I use ¾ cup margarine and a 16 oz. Bag of mini
marshmallows (and double all other ingredients) and press into a 9 x 13
pan. As far as cereal goes, the recipe calls for just cheerios but I use
whatever we have. I really like to have at least a cup of rice crispies
because they add a nice texture. I was trying to add fiber and so I
started adding fiber one to these bars. My kids still liked them, but it
seems like I found an ingredient I didn't like in fiber one so I quit
doing that. ANYway, I haven't tried freezing these but they do last
several days at room temperature.
