How to Make Crisp Peanut Candies

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of vanilla chips and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and combined.
  2. Add 3 cups of your favorite crisp rice cereal and 1 cup of roasted peanuts. Stir gently until all cereal and peanuts are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Drop the peanut butter mixture by rounded tablespoons onto the waxed paper, leaving some space between each candy.
  4. Let the candies stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until completely set.
  5. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
