The husband LOVES peanut butter, to the point I can't really keep it in the house. His meal of choice when we need something quick is a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich. He can eat an entire bag of Reeses in one sitting and if you have seen him you would never know he eats like that!
On the other hand I am not really a peanut butter person. I really don't even like sweets but I guess Lucy does because being pregnant makes me want to eat not just sweet things but peanut butter. Weird.
I needed a good recipe and one I had all the ingredients on hand for last night so I called my sister to help me search our Pinterest Boards for something good! We found these:
Special K Cookies
I renamed them Peanut Butter Goodness because I didn't have Special K cereal but I did have some off brand honey nut cheerios that needed to be used up. Here is what I ended up doing and by the way it turned out amazing! There is NOTHING healthy about these and I can't even really promote them as I am normally really against white corn syrup but ...Peanut Butter Goodness
Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup white corn syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups cheerios
Directions:
1. Combine syrup, sugar, vanilla and salt in a microwave-safe dish. Cook on high 3-4 minutes or until mixture boils and sugar is dissolved.
2. Stir in peanut butter then add cereal.
3. Drop on waxed paper in the size and shape you want. Let cool in fridge before serving.
