Ingredients

1 cup peanuts dry, roasted, unsalted
1/3 cup butter or margerine
1 Pound marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups puffed rice cereal
1 cup apricots chopped
1 cup raisins, seedless

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cereal, apricots, raisins and peanuts.

In a microwave safe 13x9 inch pan, melt butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes.

Stir; add peanut butter cook on high 2 minutes longer.

Stir until well blended, add cereal mixture to dish and toss until well coated.

Working quickly with greased hand, form into balls, using about 1/2 C mixture, per ball.

If mixture begins to harden, cook on high for 30 seconds, or until softened.

If desired , mixture may be spread in unbuttered 13x9 inch dish and cooled and cut into bars.

Makes 1 dozen balls or 2 dozen bars.

This is very similar to the Rice Krispie treats, but with the apricots and raisins it definitely gives it a fall look.
