Have a ball! Shape coated Kix® cereal and other snacks into balls of wholesome fun your family will love.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 3 cups Kix® cereal
• 20 raisins
• Miniature milk chocolate candy drops
• Small gumdrops
• Chocolate or yogurt covered raisins or miniature marshmallows
• 2 tablespoons multicolored candy sprinkles
• 20 thin pretzel sticks (2 1/4 inch)

Preparation

Step 1

In 3-quart saucepan, heat sugar and corn syrup to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter until blended. Stir in cereal. Cool slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.

Lightly butter hands. Shape 1 to 2 tablespoons cereal mixture into a ball around each candy. Immediately roll in candy sprinkles. Place pretzel stick into each cereal ball.

A spray of cooking spray works as well as buttering your hands when shaping these treats.

Wrap in plastic wrap, tie with a ribbon and tuck in a lunch bag for a special treat.
