Very Good. A little harder to mix then rice krispie treats. I used the microwave to melt the butter, marshmallows & peanut butter.

These are so yummy:) I made one modification though; I used Reese's cereal instead of PB Cap't Crunch for a little extra chocolate kick:) I'll definitely make these again!
