Before she retired, Faye O'Bryan took these yummy peanut butter bites to work for special occasions. "They're so simple," says the Owensboro, Kentucky cook. "I still make them for holidays because my family looks forward to the coated cereal and marshmallow clusters."

I am asked to make this every year for my family reunion. I put it in a foil lined 13 x 9 pan and cut it into squares also.

Captain Crunch too sweet. This is similar to a recipe I use that calls for 24 oz. vanilla candy coating, 1 cup chunky peanut butter, 3 cups broken up Rice Chex cereal or 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, 2 cups of broken up pretzels, and 2 cups mini marshmallows. I just melt the candy coating according to the directions on the packet (in a double boiler).

These are a great addition to the cookie tray- I have been making a variation of them for years but we call them "snowman poop"

Very good recipe if you do not have time to babysit the microwave or stovetop while melting the white candy coat / white chocolate. I also used vanilla extract instead of the almond. Very good flavor. In response to "what is Captain Crunch cereal", it is a small pillow shaped (puffed square) corn based cereal that is very sweet; ie lots of sugar coating. In the USA it comes in 3 flavors (that I'm aware of): regular, crunch berry (with little "berry" flavored puff balls) and peanutbutter.

What is Cap'n Crunch cereal and is white candy coating the same as white chocolate? I live in Australia and we don't have that brand ceral and I've only seen white chocolate in the supermarket. I would like to try to make this somehow. I agree that one hour sounds like a long time to melt candy. Is there a reason it has to be in a slow cooker?

I don't think you would have to cook the white chocolate an hour just to melt it. Am I missing something?
