Rice Cereal Bars with Peanut Butter
- 50 grams Peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 200 grams Marshmallows
- 300 ml Peanuts
- 800 ml Puffed rice cereal (pon-gashi)
- 135 grams White Chocolate
- 40 ml Heavy cream
- Combine the chopped peanuts and rice cereal.
- I measured each with a measuring cup before combining.
- Put the marshmallows and peanut butter in a bowl, and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until melted.
- The marshmallows will puff up.
- Mix the peanut butter and marshmallows together rapidly.
- It will deflate and become a sticky cream.
- Put the peanuts and rice cereal into the bowl with the marshmallows and mix to combine.
- It will becoming sticky and stringy like natto, and will cool fast and start to harden, so work as quickly.
- Put the mixture into a mold (I used a Tupperware container) lined with parchment paper.
- Press down on it hard to form into a rectangle.
- Cut when cooled.
- Form golfball-sized balls of with any of the mixture that doesn't fit in the tin.
- Optionally, coat the top of the bars with white chocolate.
- Warm the chocolate and cream in the microwave to melt.
- Mix well, and spread evenly over the surface of the hardened cereal.
- Chill for about an hour in the refrigerator until set.
- Cut into whatever size you like and enjoy.
- In the U.S., Kellogg's Rice Krispies are the standard puffed rice cereal to use.
- It's hard to get in Japan, so I used puffed rice (pon-gashi) instead.
- I found it in the snacks corner of a 100 yen shop.
- I used Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter.
