3cups miniature marshmallows
1/4cup butter or margarine
1/4cup creamy peanut butter
3cups Cheerios® cereal
1/2cup raisins
1/3cup sunflower nuts
10wooden sticks with rounded ends
1 . Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Heat marshmallows and butter in 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in peanut butter until blended. Remove from heat.
2 . Stir in cereal, raisins and nuts until evenly coated. Let stand 2 minutes. Shape into 2-inch balls. Insert wooden stick into middle of each ball. Place on waxed paper. Let stand about 30 minutes or until firm. Store balls wrapped in plastic wrap.
(I found that these work better without the sticks. I rolled them into golf ball size balls and they worked really good for the kids.)
