A very good use for cocoa puffs

As if the cereal itself wasn't enormously bad for you, I had to find a recipe to make it worse :-)

Actually, since nobody in our house eats this cereal, and it somehow made it into our pantry, I looked up recipes and found 1 I thought might be good.

Take the following ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/8 cup honey

and heat them on medium heat pn the stove, till it's all mixed together and a nice liquid consistency. Turn the heat off and add the following to the liquid mixture:

1/2 cup peanut butter
2 1/4 cups cocoa puffs

Mix well and drop by the spoonful onto parchment or wax paper to dry. Do it fast, it's harder once it starts cooling. They were yummy. I must have amde 2 dozen and this morning, there only 5 left. By the time I left the house, only 3 were surviving.
