Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

People talking
These are not your typical cereal treats. The marshmallow mixture that holds these goodies together is lightly flavored with peanut butter and chocolate, and the cereal used is a mixture of Cocoa Krispies and Honey Bunches of Oats. Frankly, I used Honey Bunches of Oats simply because I ran out of Rice Krispies, but I'm enjoying the finished product much better this way. My family gives it eight thumbs up, and I hope yours likes it too!

I used 7 cups of plain cheerios, as I had neither cocoa krispies or honey bunches. I added an extra TB of cocoa powder to offset the non-cocoa cereal. I also used a 1/4 cup of butter, rather than 2 TB, because... more butter... don't judge me! ;) The beauty of cereal treats is that there are SO many variations to try. I will absolutely be making this one again, though.Reply
