A delicious chewy chocolaty treat. I have given the microwave version, although you may also use a sauce pan on the stove if preferred. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons margarine |
2 tablespoons chocolate peanut butter (or plain peanut butter) |
1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional) |
1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows (or 40 large marshmallows) |
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups rice krispies |
3 cups cheerios toasted oat cereal |
Directions:
1. In a large microwave safe bowl, heat margarine and peanut butter for 30 seconds on HIGH or until melted.
2. Add marshmallows, microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until just melted; Stir until smooth.
3. Immediately add chocolate chips and vanilla extract, stir until chocolate is melted.
4. Quickly add Rice Krispies and Cheerios Stir until well coated.
5. Using a damp spatula or waxed paper, press mixture evenly into 13 x 9 inch pan coated with cooking spray(or 9 x 9 inch pan for very thick bars).
