   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      Cup           Dry roast peanuts -- unsalt
      1/3  Cup           Butter or margerine
    1      Pound         Marshmallows
      1/2  Cup           Peanut butter
    3      Cups          Puffed rice cereal
    1      Cup           Apricots -- chopped
    1      Cup           Raisins
 
 In a large bowl, combine cereal, apricots, raisins and peanuts. In a microwave
safe 13x9", melt butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes. Stir; add
peanut butter cook on high 2 minutes longer. Stir until well blended, add
cereal mixture to dish and toss until well coated. Working quickly with greased
hand, form into balls, using about 1/2 C mixture, per ball. If mixture begins
to harden, cook on high for 30 seconds, or until softened. If desired , mixture
may be spread in unbuttered 13x9″ dish and cooled and cut into bars.
 Makes 1 dozen balls or 2 dozen bars, This is very similar to the Rice Krispie
treats, but with the apricots and raisins it definitely gives it a fall look. I
saw another idea of putting the mixture into cookie cutters, and letting it
cool there so the shapes could be pumpkins, witches, etc. With a little gel
piping they would be great.
