Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

This is a recipe I originally got off a box of Honey Crisp cereal years ago. I’ve modified it a bit and it is often requested by kids and adults alike! Quick, chewy goodness!

Enjoy friends!


Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

Ingredients:

4- cups Honey Bunches of Oats or Corn Flakes Cereal

2- cups mini-marshmallows

2/3 cup packed, brown sugar

½ cup light corn syrup (I like to use ¼ cup honey and ¼ cup corn syrup)

2-Tbsp. butter

½ cup peanut butter



Directions:

Line a 9x13 inch pan with foil; spray with oil cooking spray. Combine cereal and marshmallows in a large bowl; set aside. Microwave sugar, corn syrup, and butter in medium bowl on High for 21/2 to 3 minutes or until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Pour over cereal mixture. Stir quickly with a buttered spatula or large spoon until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour into prepared pan and press down firmly. Chill at least one hour. Lift from pan using foil. Cut into squares; cut each square in half diagonally to form triangles.
