Peanut Butter Bars

Warning - these are extremely easy to make and extremely addictive to eat! 

I found this recipe on the side of the PC Brand Honey Nut O's box.  Oh my goodness, I love them.  I probably shouldn't make them again, but I will.  They are very yummy.

3 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 cups Honey Nut O's
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Melt the marshmallows, peanut butter and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.   Stir until smooth.  Stir in Vanilla.  Add the cereal, mix well.  Press into a 9 inch square pan.  Shake chocolate chips over top.  Allow to cool (I put mine in the freezer so the chocolate chips wouldn't melt).  Cut into bars.  I am storing this in the fridge as it is pretty warm right now.

Will have to try these as we have 3 boxes of Honey nut Cheerios (Andrew keeps buying things that are not on the list I give him, and buys stuff I already got, we now have 2 jars of mayo and 3 bottles of Bullseye).

I used to have a thing for peanut butter cup bars, which are also VERY addicting, and easy to have kids help make.
