Cereal and peanuts add the crunch to these sweet and peanut-buttery treats you can whip up in no time. One batch makes plenty for snacking and sharing. At Christmas, my sister and I add them to trays of homemade candies we give to the customers of the house-cleaning service we run. We're often asked for the recipe.

I make these for Christmas every year. They are so good!

This is one that I found in the TOH magazine many years ago - if I were to send in a Christmas platter to my husband's shift without these on it, I'd never hear the end of it. They are very tasty, and very quick and simple. Also travel and store well.

These are fantastic! I made these for the first time last year and everyone loved them including myself. I will definately be making them again this Christmas.
