How to Make Bear Squares

  1. Lightly grease or butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Rice Krispies or Cheerios), 1 cup raisins, and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 3 tablespoons butter, and 3 cups mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until smooth and melted.
  4. Immediately pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Stir gently until evenly combined.
  5. Scrape the mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and press firmly into an even layer.
  6. While the mixture is still warm, gently press bear-shaped cookies halfway into the mixture, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  7. Let cool completely at room temperature (at least 2 hours) before cutting into bars.
  8. Cut into squares and ensure each bar features a delightful bear!
