Number Of Ingredients 7

50 - caramels ( i used one 11 oz. package and about 1/3 of another)
1/4 cup(s) water
3/4 cup(s) peanut butter, divided
4 cup(s) cheerios
1 cup(s) salted peanuts
1 cup(s) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup(s) butter, softened

Steps:

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat caramels, water, and 1/2 cup of the peanut butter on HIGH for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir well and microwave 1-2 minutes longer or until melted. Stir well.
  • Add cereal and peanuts; stir until coated. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Set aside.
  • In another microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips, butter, and remaining peanut butter on HIGH for 30-60 seconds, or until melted. Stir well. Spread evenly over the cereal mixture. Refrigerate before cutting. Enjoy! Notes: Microwave ovens vary, so cooking time may as well. I keep these in the fridge, because at room temp they tend to get too soft.
