My father is a high school teacher, and every year for Christmas he had a student gift him these. My siblings and I were always so excited when he brought them home. I loved them so much I asked my dad to get the recipe. So here’s what you’ll need for these light, but yummy treats:

  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 pounds white chocolate chips (2 12-oz packages plus 1 1/3 cup)

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine cereal, peanuts and marshmallows.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and peanut butter on High for 1 minute and then in 30 second intervals until fully melted.
  3. Stir chocolate into cereal mixture. Mixture will be slightly runny.
  4. Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper. Let set until firm, 2 hours. Store in an airtight container.
