Have you ever noticed that the recipes on cereal boxes are pretty much the same, regardless of the cereal? I have found that the ingredients are basically a mixture of the following:
Butter
Peanut Butter
Chocolate chips
Nuts or Raisins
Some form of sugar
Possibly a spice
It’s the name of the recipe that changes. Here are some examples:
Crunchy Peanut Chocolate drops
Toffee Crunch Bites
Cinnamon Mix
Peanut Butter Crunch Bars
Crispy Chocolate Bars
Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars
Cinnamon S'mores
Rice crispy treats are a classic, but who wants a dessert bar made of frosted mini wheats? That's forcing it a bit, wouldn't you say?
Oh dear. I have to agree with you here. Besides, who buys a cereal for the recipe anyway? I defy anyone to prove me wrong here.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, maybe rice krispies for rice krispy treats? Might be the only cereal I would buy for the recipe. But, nowadays, would probably just google instead.
ReplyDeletemmmm, Toffee Crunch Bites....
ReplyDeleteI just started a 5 week sugar fast last week, so this is all very captivating.
I might add that the ingredients do change from time to time, depending on the cereal manufacture:
Western Family butter...
Kraft (or subsidiary) peanut butter...
etc.
also, let's not forget (Karo) corn syrup as another staple ingredient of these recipes.
i just love a good peanut better chewie made with cornflakes and a cup of raisins.
