Preparation

- In a large saucepan melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over low heat.
- Add marshmallows and stir frequently until completely melted, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat.
- Continue stirring and add rice cereal one cup at a time until all the cereal is evenly coated with the sticky marshmallow mixture.
- Pour mixture into the pan. Use the spatula to evenly press the mixture into the pan.
- Combine the cranberries, oats and chocolate chips in a small bowl. Roughly chop pretzel sticks and peanuts then add to the cranberry mixture. Combine the ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cereal mixture. Press down lightly.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes. Cut into 12 bars.

- For on an on-the-go snack, individually wrap each bar in plastic wrap.
- To keep bars crisp store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
