JeAnne-Peanut Butter Bars

[Terrytx]

Wow, these are good. Pretty easy to put together, but gooey. And to think how healthy they are! I did use light butter, a 10 oz. bag of marshmallows (a few short of 40), reduced fat peanut butter and Complete Wheat Bran Flakes (0.5g fat, 0chol, 5g fiber per 3/4 cup) with the mini-morsels. I don't know the fat count in corn flakes, but I bet if you figured out the facts with the stuff I used, the points and all would be even better. You gotta make them!!

Thanks Terry - I even started that thread! I must have missed these, though, because I love most things that are "gooey". Thanks for cross-posting!
