Peanut Butter Cereal Ball Candy

Is everyone ready for Holiday baking?  One treat that I always love to make this time of year is Special K Candy.  It's very similar in taste to my absolute favorite, Peanut Butter Balls.  But these are a lot easier and faster to make.  And they are just scrumptious!

I've also changed the recipe up a bit, making it with a mixture of Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies, instead of the Special K.  In the future I may do a batch using just the Rice Krispies too because I really liked the consistency that the Rice Krispies brought to the mix.

Recipe for Peanut Butter Cereal Balls:

Ingredients:

1 cup Light Karo syrup

1 1/2 cups White sugar

1 1/2 cups Peanut butter

5 cups cereal (Original recipe calls for Special K cereal, but I used a combination of Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes.)

Directions: Bring Karo syrup and sugar to a boil.  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until dissolved.

Slowly mix in cereal.  Drop by rounded teaspoon onto waxed paper.  Then mold into balls.

Tip - You can also spoon the mixture into a 9x13 dish if you prefer to serve these as bars.
