Very much like the well-known "
Rice Krispies Treats," these incorporate more
grains and are a nice
variation on the familiar taste.
Rice and
peanut crispy bars are a nice chewy food for cooler autumn days and are easy to pack and wrap.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with the vegetable spray. Simmer the syrup and
butter on medium heat until blended. Add the marshmallows and stir it
until melted, about five minutes or so. Add the cereal, wheat germ, and
peanuts, and stir until everything is coated with marshmallow. Transfer
the mix to the pan, cover, and refrigerate until set. Cut into
squares.
NOTE: You should probably have all your cereal, wheat germ, and peanuts
measured out beforehand to make adding easier and quicker (the mixture
is a bit time-sensitive), and I suggest adding the peanuts first as they
are the most difficult to stir in--rice cereal and wheat germ just fill
in the cracks, but if there is not enough available marshmallow to coat
the peanuts, they just end up falling out. This will be VERY sticky.
Yield: 32 squares
