Is everyone ready for Holiday baking? One treat that I always love to make this time of year is Special K Candy. It’s very similar in taste to my absolute favorite, Peanut Butter Balls. But these are a lot easier and faster to make. And they are just scrumptious!
I’ve also changed the recipe up a bit, making it with a mixture of Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies, instead of the Special K. In the future I may do a batch using just the Rice Krispies too because I really liked the consistency that the Rice Krispies brought to the mix.
Recipe for Peanut Butter Cereal Balls:
Ingredients:
1 cup Light Karo syrup
1 1/2 cups White sugar
1 1/2 cups Peanut butter
5 cups cereal (Original recipe calls for Special K cereal, but I used a combination of Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes.)
Directions: Bring Karo syrup and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until dissolved.
Slowly mix in cereal. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto waxed paper. Then mold into balls.
Tip – You can also spoon the mixture into a 9×13 dish if you prefer to serve these as bars.
I’m link this post up for this week’s linky parties.
Mmmm! Super easy to make and I bet they taste great!
I can't wait for holidat baking! My only problem is deciding which recipes to make! These peanut butter cereal balls look great and sound like something my brother would love. 🙂

I love using cereal in baking – it's cheap and fast and I can pretend it's at least a little bit healthy!

I must make these. Some for my husband & some for the grandkids. If I do not make 2 batches there could be a fight. Thanks for posting this!
Mmmm!!! That sounds yummy!
Sounds great! We may try this one for one of our Christmas cookies this year.
I'm bookmarking this one! Cereal has been so cheap lately and we've got too much. This is a great way to use some up!
That is awesome! I would love for you to link up at my Strut Your Stuff Party!
