PEANUT BUTTER CEREAL BARS



Peanut Butter Cereal Bars image

Nutritious, easy, no bake, quick peanut butter/cereal snack that your kids (and you!) will gobble up. Great as a take along.

Provided by Safari Time

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 25 squares

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups cereal, mixture (Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes and Honey Nut Cheerios work best)
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Measure cereal into large bowl. Set aside.
  • Boil corn syrup in microwave. Add white sugar and stir well. Return to microwave and reheat until boiling.
  • Add peanut butter to sugar/syrup mixture and stir well.
  • Quickly pour peanut butter/syrup/sugar mixture into mixing bowl with cereal. Stir well (but fast!) and then transfer to a pan or baking sheet. *NOTE: This step, and the one following, must be done as quickly as possible because as the corn syrup cools the cereal mixture becomes harder to spread.*.
  • Form mixture into one big rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Cool in fridge for 1 hour.
  • After its cooled the cereal rectangle may be cut into bars or squares. An alternative is to break the rectangle up by hand into pieces.
  • Please note that cheerios should not make up more than 1/3rd of the mix as they absorb the corn syrup. If you need to use more cheerios (or other absorbent cereal) then add a bit more corn syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cereal: Stale cereal will result in bars that are less crispy and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the sugar mixture: If the sugar mixture is overcooked, it will become hard and brittle, making it difficult to mix with the other ingredients.
  • Press the bars firmly into the pan: This will help them hold together better.
  • Chill the bars thoroughly before cutting them: This will make them easier to cut and less likely to crumble.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanutty Candy Corn Cereal Bars are a fun and easy treat that is perfect for Halloween or any other occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these bars a try!
