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. M&M'S®
24 bear shaped cookies

Lightly greased 13x9 baking pan.

Mix cereal and 1 cup of marshmallows in a large bowl. Put peanut butter and the remaining marshmallows in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until completely melted. Pour over cereal mixture and mix together. Mixture will leave sides of pan and form a ball. Transfer to prepared pan and press into an even layer.

While warm scatter candies over top, press them down gently. Stick bear shape cookies waist deep into cereal mixture, spacing them about 1 1/4 inches apart. Let cool. Cut between bears to make squares.
