These are a chewy, no-bake bar that my grandma used to make me as a snack when I would play all day in the summer. It goes without saying that they bring me fond memories, and, while I'm sure it would be possible to make a lower-fat, lower-cal, and lower-sugar version, I wouldn't change a thing! You can really use any cereal you like here - Grandma made them with anything on hand - cornflakes, rice krispies, cheerios, etc. I prefer them with cornflakes.
Ingredients:
3 cups marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1/4 cup butter (or margarine)
1 1/2 cups cereal (flake, rice, anything)
1 cup oats (select quick or old-fasioned based upon how chewy you like things)
1/2 cup raisins
Directions:
1. Mix the ceral, oats, and raisins in a large bowl.
2. Heat the marshmallows, peanut butter, and butter in a saucepan slowly until melted and combined.
3. Pour into dry ingredients.
4. Mix well.
5. Press into 8x8 greased or lined pan.
6. Cool and cut.
