    Crunchy Chocolate Bars - using Cheerios, Choc. Chips and Peanut Butter

    I posted this recipe in the Money Forum under the Cereal Coming out Ears thread, but thought it could get some use here in recipes.  

    From Better Homes and Gardens Homemade Cookies  book

    In saucepan combine one 12 ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces (2 cups) and 3/4 cup chunk-style peanut butter. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth.

    Remove from heat; stir in 3 cups round oat cereal (Cheerios). Turn into waxed paper-lined 8x8x2 inch baking pan; chill. Cut into bars.  Makes 36

     I saw that earlier and it sounds good. I wonder if you could use Cheerios in place of oats in unbaked cookies? It wouldn't be as healthy, but if you had a lot of Cheerios it might make sense.

    I know you can make rice krispie treats with a lot of other cereals (fruity pebbles is one of my favorites to do that with) and cheerios makes some pretty good ones.
