Ingredients
1 c. Dry roast peanuts; unsalted1/3 c. Butter or margarine
1 lb. Marshmallows
1/2 c. Peanut butter
3 c. Puffed rice cereal
1 c. Apricots; chopped
1 c. Raisins
Directions
In a large bowl, combine cereal, apricots, raisins and peanuts. In a microwave safe 13 x 9 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 13 x 9" 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 apricots 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.
