Quick-Rescipe

The peanut butter provides a source of protein and healthy fats, which can help give you a little bit of lasting energy. Additionally, using crisp rice and Cap’n Crunch cereals adds some carbohydrates for a quick energy boost. However, since the recipe is high in sugar from the candy coating and marshmallows, it is best enjoyed as a special treat in moderation.

  • 2 pounds white candy coating, broken into small pieces
  • 1-1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, optional
  • 4 cups Cap’n Crunch cereal
  • 4 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 4 cups miniature marshmallows
