Hello all! Today, I wanted to share with you a family recipe. It was originally created by my dad, and then recreated by yours truly. It has only three ingredients, and is a spin-off of the classic Rice Crispy Treats, so I hesitate to even call it a “recipe” … HOWEVER, these Peanut-Butter-Puffin-Crispy Treats are just so yummy that I had to dedicate a post to them :)

Your ingredients include butter (I use soy margarine), marshmallows, and a full box of Peanut Butter Puffins.

In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of soy margarine over medium heat.

When the margarine is completely melted, add a package of marshmallows (about 40 big ones). Stir to coat them in the melted margarine and continue to stir until the marshmallows melt, too.

Remove the mixture from the heat. Add the entire package of PB Puffins, about 2 cups at a time, and stir to combine.

Once your Puffins are completely coated in the melty, butter-y marshmallows, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Press down on the puffins with parchment paper so that they are nice and cozy in the dish!

Let cool. After they cool, the mixture have set and thus be easier to cut and eat!

Recipe: 

• 3 Tbsp butter or soy margarine
• 40 large marshmallows or 4 cups of mini marshmallows
• 1 box of Peanut Butter Puffins cereal

Directions:

1. Over medium heat, melt the soy margarine. Add the marshmallows, and stir until melted.
2. Remove from heat, and add the Puffins. Stir until combined.
3. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking pan, and allow to cool and harden.
4. Cut and enjoy!
