6 c. (7 1/2 oz.) crisp rice cereal
4 c. (6 oz.) miniature marshmallows
1/4 c. smooth peanut butter
3 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. candy-coated chocolate pieces (like M&Ms)
24 bear shape chocolate graham cookies

Lightly greased a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Mix cereal and 1 cup of the marshmallows in large bowl. Put peanut butter, butter and remaining marshmallows in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until completely melted and smooth. Immediately pour over cereal mixture and stir until well blended. Mixture will leave sides of pan and form a ball. Transfer to prepared pan and press into an even layer. While still warm, scatter candies over top, then press them down gently. Stick bear-shape cookies waist-deep into cereal mixture, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Let cool before cutting between bears into squares.

Makes 24.
