Ingredients

5 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped, divided
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup crushed granola cereal with oats and honey
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons shortening

Directions

I really like this, but I don't have granola cereal with oats and honey on hand, so I just use graham cracker crumbs - same amt and they turned out great.
