*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2013. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

Do you watch "The Chew" on ABC? I do, and have ever since it debuted and took the place of the long-running soap, "All My Children".

I love watching "The Chew" and just the other day there was an episode where Clinton Kelly and Carla Hall were stating that Cap'n Crunch cereal is (in their opinion) the best cereal ever! This got me thinking...

I've not had Cap'n Crunch in like, forever but I'll bet it would be tasty worked into a marshmallow cereal bar with all sorts of other delicious ingredients....hmmmmm....note to self.
