Peanut Butter Cherrio Treats

February 4, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How is your weekend going so far?  For me, boring.  I haven’t done too much but today were celebrating little Jenny’s 20th birthday so were going to a Hibachi Grill for dinner, yum and I haven’t decided what we’ll do during the day.  Remember being 20?  Oh so young and innocent with a whole world ahead of you.

Speaking of being young, I decided to make a kids treat that is good for kids of all ages and that included adults.  This little treat brings out the kids in all of us!

Yup you guessed it it’s Peanut Butter Cheerios!  You knew this had to be coming when I posted the box of cereal the other day!  I am so addicted to this cereal.  I put it in my yogurt everyday and I eat it by the handfuls everyday.  I love it!  I like to look at them as little hugs.  You know X’s and O’s.


I told my Husband I am giving him a tray of hugs to take to work with him.  There just so cute!  He took them to work and said everyone loved them and they all got eaten!  yah!!  A lot of time’s he’ll bring some of the left overs back, but he said none on this batch, everyone ate them first thing in the morning.  Doesn’t it make you feel good when people like what you made?  Even as simple and easy as Cheerio treats?

I made these the same way as I did regular Rice Krispie treats.  However you could add 1/2 cup of peanut butter to give it more of a peanut butter flavor, but I opted out on it, because it saved me about 25 calories, per piece and when I made these I ate two right off the bat.  They are to dangerous for me, that’s why they went work with Hubby, to good to keep around my house.  I could easily eat half a pan.  I have no self-control when it comes to sweets, especially the sweets that taste like peanut butter.  I need serious help, I really do!!

Cheerio Treats

Ingredients:

2 tbsp light butter spread

4 cups or 10.5 oz pkg. mini marshmallows

6 cups Peanut Butter Cheerios

cooking spray

Directions:

Spray a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Heat a large saucepan on low heat. Melt butter spread. Add marshmallows and melt on low flame. Stir until completely melted, then remove from heat.

Add Cheerios to the melted marshmallows, and stir until completely combined (you will need muscles here). Press into the pan using wax paper.

Serving Size: 24 2 inch pieces

Calories per treat:  82,  Fat:  .09,  Sodium:  61,  Potassium:  21,  Carbs:  18,  Fiber:  .07,  Sugar:  10.5,  Protein:  1.1

You could serve these treats for the Super Bowl too!!  They will definitely get gobbled up!  Not to mention it will take you about 10 minutes to put together!  If your still looking for other ideas on what to make check out my post from yesterday.  It’s 21 of my favorite treats, snacks and appetizers that I think will be good for a Super Bowl party!

Here’s bite mark number 2 on my treat!  So darn good!!!  I saved some for Jenny, and she has four left in the cupboard do you think she’ll notice if one or two are missing?

Well my friends, time to relax for the rest of my Friday and maybe do some stretching.  My body is stiff from sitting all day and I didn’t exercise today, so tomorrow morning I need to burn it up or I won’t meet my weekly goal!  Have a great day!  Remember to give some Cheerio Treats to loved ones and tell them there a bunch of hugs held together with your sweetness!  Who could resist that?

    Hello there! I just discovered your blog– I think from a comment on Two Peas and their pod? But now I can’t remember.

    Anyway, I love it! I am also 30 something and living with one bad dog (I have no idea what we’d do with TWO)! So I feel your pain/joy on that one. I am really looking forward to reading more of your posts–they seem great!

    Have a good weekend–take care!

      Yes, we started out with one bad dog and figured if we get another it will calm her down and it did, but he makes up for it. My little Sampson is definitely a bad dog!!

      Glad you found me, stop back again! have a wonderful weekend!!

    I love that you called these a tray full of hugs. What a cute idea. The pb cheerios sound wonderful. I have not seen them in my stores. I will have to keep an eye out for them because I think they’d be a huge hit.

      If you find them beware! They are addicting, and I was never a cheerios person and I can’t stop eating them. There not super sweet which I like but I get the peanut butter flavor which I love!!

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
