Monachew

This yummy cereal and peanut butter snack is perfect to take camping, on a picnic or day trip, to any get-together occasion. It is one of my boys' favorites and a highly requested item by my friends. It can be frozen if sealed well.

I loved this1 It was so easy to make and my kids helped out. They ate the first batch intwo days so we made another and after I started cooking I realized I didn't have enough peanut butter so we used 1/2 cup of peanut butter and half a cuop of chocolate chips and it worked just the same and was really good! Hope you don't mind I implenmented your recipe!

Caylie's mama--It is supposed to be chewy. It should set up on the waxed paper so that you can easily pull it apart or break it up, but it is best when it is soft and chewy.

I just tried this recipe. It was easy and yummy! I'm taking it on our MOPS Steering retreat this weekend. I'm sure it will be a hit. By the way, I went to Monache!
