Yet another peanut butter ball recipe. The paraffin makes it definitely retro…but you can just use candy melts or plain chocolate chips to dip them in instead.
1 stick softened butter
2 cups peanut butter
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups Rice Krispies
1/3 cake paraffin wax
12 oz. chocolate chips
Mix butter, peanut butter, sugar, and Rice Krispies. Roll into 1 inch balls. Melt wax over low heat. Add and melt chocolate chips. Dip balls into chocolate mixture. Set on wax paper and chill.

Yes, we all know that you can make Rice Krispie treats with cereal. I know you want to do it right now.
Make sure you use margarine to grease the pan. Pam just makes them taste funny. Geez, save calories elsewhere!
This halves easily, doubling of course risks huge mess in your home, so don’t do it.
You might also want to think outside the blue box and mix up your favorite blend of cereals. I am thinking a Captain Crunch and Frosted Flakes blend might be Grrrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaaat as Tony might say. So, get retro, have a pajama party and make some treats. (or just make’em and binge quietly standing in your kitchen alone)
½ cup margarine
20 oz. large marshmallows (buy the good ones!)
12 C cereal
margarine for greasing 9″x13″ pan & spoonGrease 9″x13″ pan with margarine, set aside. Melt margarine over low heat in very large pot. Add marshmallows, stir to coat with margarine.
Add cereal and mix completely.
Pour into greased pan and spread evenly using a large greased spoon.

Not only did the 7th Day Adventists have a hand in making cereal what it is today, they have come up with great ways to use it. Famously, in their “loafs”, yes, veggie un-meatloaf has cereal. Build your own Adventist style loaf with Jennifershmoo’s Magic Loaf Studio.
You can’t get more retro than meatloaf or cereal in meat loaf and a vegetarian “meat” loaf is even better.

Now presenting: Cereal. Yes, that humble food that you never outgrow, easy source of your whole grains, and favorite of the Trix rabbit! Cereal as we think of it, has not always been around! The history of cereal has its roots in the early healthy food movement and the history of 7th Day Adventists. So, next time you have a bowl of Sugar Smacks (errr…just Smacks these days), know that you aren’t eating junk food…you are eating retro health food.
