Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Treats
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!
