1 c  Dry roast peanuts; unsalt

    1/3 c  Butter or margerine

      1 lb Marshmallows

    1/2 c  Peanut butter

      3 c  Puffed rice cereal

      1 c  Apricots; chopped

      1 c  Raisins

  In a large bowl, combine cereal, apricots, raisins and peanuts. In a
  microwave safe 13x9", melt butter and marshmallows on high for 2
  minutes. Stir; add peanut butter cook on high 2 minutes longer. Stir
  until well blended, add cereal mixture to dish and toss until well
  coated. Working quickly with greased hand, form into balls, using
  about 1/2 C mixture, per ball. If mixture begins to harden, cook on
  high for 30 seconds, or until softened. If desired , mixture may be
  spread in unbuttered 13x9" dish and cooled and cut into bars. Makes 1
  dozen balls or 2 dozen bars, This is very similar to the Rice Krispie
  treats, but with the apricaots and raisins it definitely gives it a
  fall look. I saw another idea of putting the mixture into cookie
  cutters, and letting it cool there so the shapes could be pumpkins,
  witches, etc. With a little gel piping they would be great.
