Peanut Butter Chex Mix


LeRoy's absolute favorite snack. He has loved this from his first Christmas with my family in 1990 (mom makes it every year for Christmas). He makes it for every Super Bowl, Thanksgiving, Christmas and any other occasion that he can think of. He makes it so often that I had never actually made it until October when I made it as a Halloween surprise for him (that's when I took this picture). I haven't made it since because he always beats me to it.

2 cups corn chex
2 cups rice chex
2 cups rice crispies
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter

Mix all the cereal in a large bowl and set aside.

Bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Pour over cereal and mix together. They can be formed into "cookies" (as pictured above) or eaten straight out of the bowl (which is how LeRoy likes it). Keep in airtight container to maintain gooey-ness.
