EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Your favorite cocktail peanuts or dry-roasted peanuts can be substituted for the honey-roasted peanuts.

To easily crush granola bars, leave them in the pouches. Gently pound with meat mallet or rolling pin to break them up. You can also crush the cookies with a rolling pin, if you prefer. Just crumble them into a large food-storage plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin.

I would like to try these using my granola cereal. How much do you suppose I should use to equal the crushed granola bars? These sound awesome. Thanks for your help out there! -

These were a big hit. Did not use the peanuts, but did use more pnut butter! They were a big hit!

I'll be darned, these really do taste like homemade Candy Bars. Took a pan to work, they were cleaned out by 4 pm. I used Peanut Butter Creme OREO's for extra awesomeness.
