Monster Munch

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	237ml	Dry roast peanuts - unsalted
1/3 cup	65g / 2.3oz	Butter or margarine
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Marshmallows
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Peanut butter
3 cups	480g / 16oz	Puffed rice cereal
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Apricots - chopped
1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	Raisins

Recipe Instructions

In a large bowl, combine cereal, apricots, raisins and peanuts. In a microwave safe 13x9", 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 13x9" 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.
