Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch Clusters Recipe
How was your weekend?
Long weekends are great, except when Tuesday comes around disguised as a Monday…
And then Tuesday morning you end up doing Monday things…
Like run around like a crazy lady trying to find my kids matching socks…
Or forgetting that it wasn’t, in fact, Monday and trying to do your kid’s school homework that is due on TUESDAY, 2 minutes before the bus comes.
Always a good time.
So my least favorite day of the week isn’t Monday…it’s Tuesday disguised as Monday. An imposter Monday. Tuesday wearing a Monday mask.
BUT one thing about imposter Monday is that it’s ok to eat cereal disguised as a dessert for breakfast.
See how I brought that around?
So here we have 2 different kinds of cereal, peanut butter, white chocolate and marshmallows.
Half breakfast food, half dessert…which equals wholly delicious.
How to Make These Peanut Butter Treats
Start with your cereals and marshmallows in a bowl.
Then gather your other ingredients…peanut butter being one.
Melt some white chocolate or candy coating over a double boiler and then mix in some peanut butter.
Then pour that all over your cereal stuff.
Mix it up evenly…
Then drop by heaping spoonful onto some wax paper.
If you don’t feel like making clusters…OR if you get bored halfway through making the clusters.
I’m not saying that happened to me, but you know…I just heard about it happening one time…you can totally press it into a pan and make squares instead of clusters.
They’re just as good…I promise.

I love Cap’n Crunch and have made a few things with it lately. Once you buy a box, you have to use it up, right? 🙂
These look delish and EASY! Love all your no-bake stuff!
YUM, if only we had captain crunch in the UK 🙁
Ewww, today IS Tuesday, isn’t it? Normally I have Mondays off and I assumed yesterday was just a bonus holiday day and I’d have today off but NOOOOO, the world HAD to go and eff with my schedule. Well that’s JUST DANDY, WORLD because I CAN MAKE THESE and I WILL.
BTW, they look amazing.
BTW, I am crazy and talk to the world. No big.
Umm, WHOA. That is all.
Hi Shelly,
My son has a peanut allergy. I know Cap’n Crunch comes in a non PB flavor, but do you know if Biscoff or Nutella would set up the same way peanut butter would in this recipe?
Thanks.
Well, it’s more of the white chocolate/candy coating that sets up…so I bet either of those things would work great!
Yes! Tuesday disguised as Monday….such a cruel trick! Now all of that stuff I have to finish for Wednesday is crammed in today! And I really just want to sit in my robe, sip iced coffee and read blogs. And quite possibly make these clusters. Cereal = health food, right?
I would totally be ok with eating these for breakfast – Tuesday or any other day of the week!
Last night I noticed that Bachelorette was on, and I was all, “are they showing reruns on Sunday now? Weird. ”
It took me forever to realize that it was Monday and thus, a new episode. This week is going to be confusing.
