- Hey, y'all I'm Jamie Dean back in Mama's Kitchen today,
0:03
here to share really delicious easy recipes for y'all.
0:06
And today we're doing bar recipes.
0:09
A hundred years ago when I did Jamie Dean's home for dinner,
0:12
Jack was a wee little guy and he's driving to school now.
0:14
I can't believe it, don't get me started.
0:17
I started to make different kind
0:19
of bars for kids and really love it.
0:22
And also a, a no cook oatmeal.
0:26
There's so many fun recipes out there that you can share
0:29
with your kids that you will enjoy, too.
0:31
And this is really one of them.
0:33
I'm gonna go into a large sauce pan with three tablespoons
0:36
of butter is what we're gonna start with.
0:38
And now that that's melted down, I'm going to add
0:41
three and a half cups of miniature marshmallows.
0:45
And I've also got some crunchy peanut butter here.
0:50
How is that for a start, my good people?
0:54
Butter, marshmallows, and peanut butter.
0:57
Now, I've got cook this just for a few minutes
0:59
until everything gets nice and melty.
1:02
This is really a quick recipe that you can put together.
1:04
This is perfect for your lunch boxes or for a tailgate
1:08
or for any snacks to keep around for your kids.
1:13
I will change a recipe faster than I can fix it.
1:16
So, if you want to do
1:18
anything different, if you want to use,
1:21
you can pick the kind of cereals that you want to do.
1:23
You can add granola to it.
1:25
You can do an organic peanut butter.
1:28
You could use just anything you want.
1:30
You could use colored marshmallows.
1:33
If y'all just fix it one time
1:35
like I'm sharing with y'all today
1:37
then you can spend the next couple times
1:39
kind of tweaking it and making it your own.
1:42
And just standing here right now
1:43
with all this sweetness going,
1:46
the first thing I would add is a bag
1:48
of crushed up pretzels to this.
1:51
Get a little bit of that salty going in with the sweet.
1:55
So, this will take one second.
1:56
So, what we're using for our cereal today
1:59
is round peanut butter puffs.
2:02
So this is like a chocolate and peanut butter,
2:05
'cause underneath here
2:06
we've got the little Rice Krispies in a chocolate flavor.
2:11
So, that's where I'm telling you you can change it up.
2:13
If you don't like peanut butter
2:14
you could find regular balls without flavor.
2:18
And you can certainly find
2:19
these rice crispy cereals without any flavoring on it.
2:23
But, today for me, yes, sir.
2:26
We're going peanut butter and chocolate.
2:30
This is melted down good enough now.
2:32
I'm gonna add our cereal in here.
2:36
That's a big old measuring bowl.
2:43
Make sure that all of this gets coated.
2:47
Now would be a good time to add
2:48
in any nuts if you wanted to.
2:50
And I know it drives you crazy.
2:52
I drive my mom crazy.
2:53
I drive my wife crazy.
2:55
I cook food and then I change recipes so quickly.
2:59
You could put pecans in here,
3:02
you could put chocolate chip pieces in here.
3:06
Golly, that looks good.
3:07
Your kids are gonna love this and look how simple it is.
3:13
Got a 13 by nine pan that we've already got greased up.
3:17
And I'm gonna dump this cereal down in here.
3:26
Just as easy as you please.
3:28
Spread this out while it's still warm.
3:33
And now I got y'all thinking
3:35
about what you put on top of here, don't I?
3:38
That looks like a perfect place to park some
3:41
of your favorite things that you like.
3:45
We're gonna leave this here to cool
3:50
and then we're gonna be able to cut 'em.
3:52
I got a couple recipes going this morning, so
3:55
and when we come back we'll enjoy some
3:57
of these chocolate peanut butter bars together.
4:01
Our peanut butter chocolate bars are ready, y'all.
4:04
Let's see what this looks like.
4:09
I'm taking these home.
4:11
Matthew's gonna get one of these
4:15
in his lunch box tomorrow.
4:18
- [Paula] Oh, he'll be a happy boy.
4:21
- [Jamie] Look how pretty that is.
4:28
And like I said, now, if y'all come up with some good things
4:31
to put in here or to substitute,
4:33
y'all send us a note and let me know
4:38
to learn about cooking
4:39
from people that have better ideas than me
4:41
and I don't have to look for it if I have somebody that has
4:43
a better idea than me.
4:50
This is a good cereal bar.
4:52
We'll see y'all around the kitchen.
