Cereal Bars

A pretty good basic recipe to make Rice Krispee treats or cereal bars using other cereals. Today I used Cheerios.

5-6cups dry cereal. (I like to use rice krispees or Cheerios).
3 tablespoons butter
1 10 ounce package marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips (or another flavor such as peanut butter)

1. Melt butter over low heat.
2. Add marshmallows and stir until melted.
3. Stir in vanilla and peanut butter until incorporated.
4. Stir in cereal.
5. Mix in chips.
6. Press into a greased 9x13 in pan and let cool. Cut into squares to serve.

Not exactly gourmet food but the kids sure love them! So do the grown ups :D
