Computer Chip Snack (Marshmallow Peanut Butter Popcorn)
- Ready In:

- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
12 cups
ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 3 cups plain Cheerios toasted oat cereal
- 1⁄4 cup salted peanuts (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup margarine
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 25 large marshmallows
directions
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- Combine the popped popcorn, the cheerios and the peanuts in a large bowl and set aside. I like to take the time to pick out and discard any unpopped kernels.
- Melt the margarine, peanut butter, marshmallows and salt in a bowl in the microwave on High setting until smooth. Microwaves differ in power so check the mixture often, stirring each time until the ingredients are completely melted and well blended.
- Pour the melted ingredients over the popcorn mixture and stir well, coating the entire mixture.
- Spread evenly on 2 cookie sheets and bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, cool and break apart into chunks.
- Store in an airtight container.

addictive for sure! made one batch with the kids and we barely got it in the oven, we were so busy nibbling on it. And een better once it had baked...they are already clamoring for me. And I might give in--I want some too! Thanks for posting, I am adding this to the list of goodies to send out at Christmas time!

I wanted a quick, easy special treat for my daughter and her friend to have after school today. This was perfect! And Yummy! I didn't add peanuts (but I think that would be good) because I didn't have any. I did add a couple of handfuls of chocolate chips after I stirred in the marshmallow mixture. But the didn't stick, so next time I will try adding them before I add the melted stuff. Thanks for the recipe!
