Some good recipes.

Trail Mix and Cereal Breakfast Bars

Source: Adapted from Laura Blankenbaker's "Early Bird Breakfast Bars" as featured in Big Backyard, April 2012, Vol 16 Issue 4, p 29.

Servings: Makes about 12-18 bars, depending on how you cut 'em.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 Tbsps butter

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1/3 cup raisins

1/3 cup cocktail peanuts Roughly chopped.

2 Tbsps mini M&Ms (Or more; who am I to judge?)

Instructions:

In a microwave-safe container, nuke the butter, and peanut butter for about 30 seconds, or until the butter is melted. Stir in the honey, and fold the hot mess into the cereal. Once integrated, mix in the nuts and raisins, and then press into an 8 inch square baking dish fitted with a parchment sling. Top with the mini M&Ms and press them into the top with a bit of parchment. Take the pan to the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the bars are set. De-pan and cut into desired portions. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes:

That "cook" time is actually freezer time, but heck it's all heat transfer in the end isn't it?
