1 Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. In 3-quart saucepan, heat sugar and corn syrup over medium heat, stirring frequently, just until mixture starts to boil. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter until melted and smooth.
2 Stir in cereal until evenly coated. Cool about 5 minutes. While the mixture is cooling, place candy sprinkles in shallow dish.
3 Lightly spray hands with cooking spray. For each snack, shape 1/4 cup cereal mixture around one small candy. Immediately roll each in candy sprinkles to coat. Place snacks on cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store in loosely covered container.

These were pretty good. I thought the directions were vague in the idea of wrapping around "small candies". What KIND of candy? There are only thousands of different kinds. So I made this recipe, but instead of putting candies in the middle, I added Holiday M&Ms to the mixture after it had cooled a bit, then formed it into balls.

These are a wonderful treat. My kids have brought these to school for treats. I have made them many times. Tonight I made them with chocolate cheerios and they tasted the best of all the batches I've made!
