This is from Everyday Food. Jim's brother and his wife were visiting and we were going to be touring the White House. Jim wanted us up and out of the house by 5:30 AM. I made these to take along, but forgot them. Who can actually think at 5:30 AM? These were quite good and Vince and Tammy had them the morning they visited the new Air and Space Museum and also took them for the drive home.
Nonstick cooking spray
4T butter
1 bag of marshmallows, 10 oz.
1/2 t salt
6C toasted oat cereal. I used Cherrios
1C dried cranberries
Spray a 10 X 15" rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line with waxed paper, spray paper with cooking spray and set aside.
In a saucepan melt the butter and add the marshmallows and salt. Cook stirring until the marshmallows melt. Only takes about 5 minutes. Stir in the cereal and fruit.
Immediately transfer to the prepared baking sheet and using a spatual coated with cooking spray press in quickly and firmly. Cool for about an hour and cut into bars. I then wrapped them individually in saran wrap. These would be good for commuters to eat in the car on the way to work. They do not crumble.

This was similar to rice krispy treats but was a more healthy version (at least felt like it was) with the cheerios and cranberries. We had one left when we arrived at home that had DJ's name on it. He ate it for desert. We had a pleasant suprise from our son. He had prepared spaghetti and meatballs from scratch accompanied with garlic bread for our dinner. It was delicious! We also served a 2008 Vidas Del Este Malbec. This was from the wine of the month club that we received for Christmas from our children.
ReplyDeleteTell DJ to come cook for me sometime.
