Kids will love these colorful, crunchy bars. They’re a fun twist on the traditional marshmallow crispy treats…and because they’re so easy, older kids could whip up a batch on their own! &mdash;Christie Porter, Shipshewana, Indiana

Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch

milk chocolate M&M's

In a large saucepan, combine the marshmallows, butter and peanut butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cereal and M&M's.

Pat into a 13x9-in. pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into bars.

Love these!  I used Reese's cereal in place of Cap'n Crunch and Reese's Pieces in place of M&Ms.  Easy for kids to help whip up!

Good grief. REVIEW THE RECIPE, not your opinion on the nutrition facts or whether kids should eat it or not. Keep those opinions to yourself. I can read and judge for myself, thanks.

I made this for a potluck and everyone loved it! Very easy to make. I used dark chocolate M&Ms with the Cap'n Crunch cereal. You could change it up to whatever you wanted, it's very versatile.

Great recipe!  Perfect as is or try any variation. Replaced 1 cup cereal with chopped pretzels- yummy!  Even stale pretzels or cereal get a new life with this gooey perfection!  As a volunteer feild editor with Taste of Home magazine I love recipes that appeal to kids and adults as well!

Very good and easy! I love the peanut butter flavor!

I might be going against the grain here, but I thought there were too many m&ms.  I used a whole bag, because it was only just over 1 1/ 2 cups.  But everyone in the family loved it!  I also used the microwave to melt the stuff--super easy.  I was surprised how soft it stayed for the two days it lasted!

Next time I make these I will use fewer M & M's.  The M & M's started to melt an crack when I was spread the treats.  They were very tasty.

Very simple to make.  They taste good too.

Is definitely not diabetic friendly, in fact could be categorized as "diabetic causing". Lots of sugar, GMO's, and basically, junk. Kids don't need this stuff, they need your love and attention. THat being said, I'm sure it tastes yummy.

loved them! It was a wonderful twist to the traditional rice krispy treat. :) Super easy snack for the kids! :)

An absolute hit! I will certainly make these again. The only thing I would change is add more marshmallow-probably double what the recipe calls for.

I used Kix cereal instead and it was wonderful.

Very good!!  They were a HUGE hit.  I thought they were a little on the sweet side so one was enough for me for sure.

Made a couple of changes by adding more peanut butter and marshmallows as I didn't think there was enough marshmallow goo and I used Reese's Pieces rather than M&Ms to notch up the PB flavor.  A big hit.

Being a diabetic, this recipe did NOT cause me any problems. Everything is fine in moderation.

Absolutely delicious & a cinch to make! Can also use Reese's Puffs cereal.

For those concerned with those who may have nut allergies, try this with plain Kix cereal and Biscoff spread.  If you are not familiar with Biscoff spread, it is a spread that is made with those wonderful Biscoff cookies you get on most plane flights.   Wonderful!!  Oh, and definitely use more than 1 tablespoon.

Very tasty and easy to make.  They were a big hit at the Girl Scout meeting

I use this recipe every year for halloween, instead of regular chocolate m&m's, I use candy corn m&m's.  My kids love it!

when first glance at it thought it was made with KIX.    i would think it would be good with that too, would use kix when make it.

Very Good. A little harder to mix then rice krispie treats. I used the microwave to melt the butter, marshmallows & peanut butter.

Taste is good.  TOO MUCH CEREAL FOR MARSHMALLOW  COATING!  I would not do this recipe again without changing that. Reduce cereal or double marshmallow coating.

These are so yummy:)  I made one modification though; I used Reese's cereal instead of PB Cap't Crunch for a little extra chocolate kick:)  I'll definitely make these again!
