I have eaten these Yummy cookies at Christmastime since I was little. They are still a favorite, and happily, they are still okay! You can use any puffed rice or puffed millet cereal that you like to ensure that they are gluten free. When made with Rice Krispies there is approximately 1 gram of starch per candy, though I don't think these can be made sucrose free very easily.
Yummies
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 package butterscotch chips, 12 oz
2/3 cup Spanish peanuts
3 cups Rice Krispies®
1. Melt first 2 ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl on low heat, stirring every minute.
2. Meanwhile, combine Rice Krispies and peanuts. Once melted, add butterscotch chips mixture to Rice Krispies. Working quickly, drop onto waxed paper in teaspoon sized balls, let cool. Store in an airtight container. Makes at least 4 dozen candies.
Ouch. ;> Those look like something I wouldn't be able to resist.
