Peanut Butter Puff Treats

Leave a reply

If your like me and LOVE rice krispy treats here’s a great healthy, low fat alternative. I slightly modified the recipe from hungry girl and added some peanut butter and a few more marshmallows. One square is 1 weight watchers point, which means yes a treat you can finally pig out on and NOT feel guilty. Speaking of which I think my pan is now cooled, ready to be cut, photographed and devoured. Until our next encounter; Enjoy :)

Ingredients:
  • 5 cups of puff wheat
  • 2 cups of fiber one (love this stuff)
  • 3.5 cups of mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons of low fat becel margarine (I use the blue tub one)
  • 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (regular or low fat there is no point difference)
Directions:
  1. Mix the two cereals in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter and peanut butter in a large pot.
  3. Add mini marshmallows and melt those down.
  4. Remove pot from the heat and add the cereal and stir until fully covered.
  5. Pour in a 9 x12 lightly greased pan.
  6. Once they are cool cut into 25 squares.
