Title: Monster Munch
Categories: Appetizer
Yield: 1 Servings
| 1 | c | Dry roast peanuts; unsalt |
| 1/3 | c | Butter or margerine |
| 1 | lb | Marshmallows |
| 1/2 | c | Peanut butter |
| 3 | c | Puffed rice cereal |
| 1 | c | Apricots; chopped |
| 1 | c | Raisins |
In a large bowl, combine cereal, apricots, raisins and peanuts. In a
microwave safe 13x9", melt butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes.
Stir; add peanut butter cook on high 2 minutes longer. Stir until well
blended, add cereal mixture to dish and toss until well coated. Working
quickly with greased hand, form into balls, using about 1/2 C mixture, per
ball. If mixture begins to harden, cook on high for 30 seconds, or until
softened. If desired , mixture may be spread in unbuttered 13x9" dish and
cooled and cut into bars. Makes 1 dozen balls or 2 dozen bars, This is very
similar to the Rice Krispie treats, but with the apricaots and raisins it
definitely gives it a fall look. I saw another idea of putting the mixture
into cookie cutters, and letting it cool there so the shapes could be
pumpkins, witches, etc. With a little gel piping they would be great.
