Count Chocula Peanut Bars






Another recipe brought to you, made with Count Chocula!!!   Have a Happy Halloween!!!!!


5 cups Count Chocula cereal
1 - 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup mini semi-sweet morsels
1 bag marshmallows (mini or large)
4 tbs butter
4 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter ( I used the chunky kind, but creamy will also do)


 1. Grease a 9x9 or an 8x8 pan with butter or cooking spray.







2.  Thoroughly combine the Count Chocula cereal, mini morsels, and peanuts in a large bowl. You really want to make sure this is all mixed well, because once the marshmallow sauce is heated you have to move quickly.





3. In another large microwave-safe bowl, add in the entire bag of marshmallows, butter and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Take out, stir, and put back in for another 45 seconds on high or until everything has melted into liquid form. (Now, while you're waiting for this to heat up, if you choose to mix everything together with your hands, I would suggest rubbing a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil on your palms so the ingredients don't stick to you as easily.)

4. Once the marshmallow mix is melted, quickly pour evenly over the Count Chocula mix. The marshmallow will get stringy and harder to work with, so the faster the better.



5. Press mix into your greased pan until it is even and flat.  Let it cool completely.

6. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
