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.

Any recipe with cereal makes me so happy! I love cereal desserts! Cereal so rocks!
Just think though: when Tuesday pretends to be Monday, the weekend gets here faster!
Oh yes this is my ideal breakfast! Love Cap’n Crunch!!
Peanut butter and cereal together is always a winner! Looks delicious!
breakfast of champions! And I so would have just done bars, way too lazy to do it any other way;p
Yum! I always love the Peanut butter and white chocolate combination!
These are amazing. I could live on cap ‘n crunch. Especially the peanut butter one.
I LOVE breakfast in marshmallow peanut butter dessert form! No matter what day it is…but I’m sure it really does taste better on imposter mondays.
This also tastes great if you add 2 cups of dry roasted peanuts before dropping.
Ooo, looks yummy! and yup, i totally get you on the tuesday disguised as monday thing.
