Ingredients:
1 cup Dry Peanuts (unsalted)
1/3 cup of Butter or Margarine
1 pound Marshmallows
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
3 cups Puffed Rice Cereal
1 cup Apricots (chopped)
1 cup Raisins
Preparation:
In a large blow combine ceral, apricots, raisins and peanuts. In a microwave safe 13 X 9 inch pan, melt butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes. Stir until well blended, add cereal mixture to dish and toss until well coated. Working quickly with greased hands, 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 an unbuttered 13 x 9 inch pan and colled and cut into bars. Makes 1 dozen balls or 2 dozen bars. This is very similair to Rice Krispie Treats, but with the apricots and raisins it definitely gives it a fall look.
