6 c. (7 1/2 oz.) crisp rice cereal
4 c. (6 oz.) miniature marshmallows
1/2 c. raisins
1/4 c. smooth or chunky peanut butter
2 tbsp. reg. stick butter (not spread)
24 bear-shaped chocolate cookies

Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan or dish. Mix cereal, 1 cup marshmallows and the raisins in a large bowl. Put peanut butter, butter and the remaining 3 cups marshmallows in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted and blended. Pour over cereal mixture. Stir to coat well.

Press evenly into prepared pan using a greased spatula or wax paper. Immediately 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.
