These easy-to-make, sweet, crunchy treats will be a nice pau hana (after work) snack today. Recipe tested by Heidi.
Ingredients:
One 10-oz package Marshmallows
1/4 cup Butter or Margarine
1/3 cup Peanut Butter
7 1/2 cups (10-oz) Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Cereal
Directions:
In large, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in microwave. Add marshmallows and stir to coat. Melt marshmallows in microwave on high for about three minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Add cereal and stir until well coated. Press into greased 9x13 inch pan using a wet or buttered spatula to prevent sticking. Grammy suggests cutting into 2x2 inch bars.
Heidi's Gr-r-reat! heart-smart tip: Use unsweetened whole grain flakes cereal instead of Frosted Flakes. Why? Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease by decreasing cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Heidi, I love the antherium! Seems overkill to use frosted flakes when you're coating them in sugar anyway! Even Special K would be an improvement, I think... Thanks for your first post and for joining the cookbook group!
