Monster Munch                   Ingredients: 1 Cup Dry roast peanuts -- unsalted 1/3 Cup Butter or margarine 1 Pound Marshmallows 1/2 Cup Peanut butter 3 Cups Puffed rice cereal 1 Cup Apricots -- chopped 1 Cup Raisins Instructions: In a large bowl, combine cereal, apricots, raisins and peanuts. In a microwave safe 13x9", melt butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes. Stir; add peanut butter cook on high 2 minutes longer. Stir until well blended, add cereal mixture to dish and toss until well coated. Working quickly with greased hand, form into balls, using about 1/2 C mixture, per ball. If mixture begins to harden, cook on high for 30 seconds, or until softened. If desired , mixture may be spread in unbuttered 13x9" dish and cooled and cut into bars. Makes 1 dozen balls or 2 dozen bars Similar to the Rice Krispy treats, but with the apricots and raisins it definitely gives it a fall look. Another idea would be putting the mixture into cookie cutters, and letting it cool. The shapes could be pumpkins, witches, etc. A little gel piping they would look great.
