The original 1957 version of these make-ahead bonbons were billed as a convenience treat. Sprinkling a bit of childhood-favourite sugary cereal overtop adds a bit of crunch, colour and fun.
Ingredients
3/4 cup (70 g) skim milk powder
1/2 cup commercial-style smooth peanut butter
4 to 5 tbsp honey, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (70 g) finely chopped roasted, salted peanuts
2 cups fruit-flavoured cereal, crushed
Instructions
Combine milk powder with peanut butter, 4 tbsp honey and salt in a medium bowl until a smooth dough forms. Stir in peanuts until incorporated, adding extra tbsp honey only if needed to bring dough together. Refrigerate until mixture is firm to the touch, about 2 hrs.
Pinch off portions of dough and roll into balls. Roll in crushed cereal to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
