"For the best flavor and texture I recommend to use fresh Kraft marshmallows and a good quality peanut butter. To freeze place in layers separated by wax paper in an airtight container and freeze up to 8 weeks, one 7-ounce jar marshmallow cream can be substituted for the mini marshmallows For peanut butter and jelly squares; layer half of the cereal mixture into the pan, spread about 1 cup you favorite flavor preserves over the bottom layer, then top with the remaining cereal mixture (grape jelly or strawberry jam works well)"

We are all peanut butter lovers around here and these were enjoyed by the whole family. The kids wouldn't leave them alone and they requested I keep them in the house all the time for snacks, so it's a go!
