I have used this recipe for years. I started making these for my brothers to take hunting. They loved them and I make them every year for their trip. I have since then introduced them to my co-workers and have added variations for fun. Try adding Oats, raisins, craisins, chocolate chips or even adding a little bit of another cereal for texture .

This recipe was very good! I used less than a cup of sugar (splenda) and they turned out wonderfully. Very tasty and chewy--I will definitely make these again! Thank you for posting such a tasty treat!

I just posted this recipe but in the one i posted i halved the recipe and reduced the sugar and adding 1 cup marshmallows that makes it closer to a 5 star other wise they taste just ok. Next time I want to add chocolate!

This was really too sweet and very dense. Maybe if the peanut butter was cut a bit. I don't know if I'd make it again.
