Peanut Butter Marshmallow Bars

The other night, Chris and I had a major craving for some peanut butter rice krispie bars. My mom made the best pb bars, chewy and crunchy and gooey. And while I do have the recipe, I did not have the ingredients. Specifically, I didn't have rice krispies, and we were out of Karo syrup from the last time I made marshmallows.

But I did still have those marshmallows.

So in a very un-scientific manner, we decided to throw some peanut butter and marshmallows together...



We cooked it over low heat, constantly stirring to get the marshmallows to melt and blend in with the peanut butter.



Then we mixed in the next best cereal we had, Multi-Grain Cheerios. We spread it all out in a greased pan (we didn't make enough to fill up the whole pan, but it worked out ok).



I have to tell you, I was so surprised at how tasty these were! Gooey because of the marshmallows, crunchy from the cereal, and a little extra healthiness from the Multi-Grain Cheerios, these satisfied our craving perfectly!

It just goes to show, if you don't have the right ingredients, just play around with the recipe using ingredients you do have!
