Ingredients

Start to finish: 35 minutes (15 minutes active)
Servings: 15

6 ounces caramels, cut in half (about 22 caramels)
2 tablespoons skim milk
3 cups whole-grain wheat flake breakfast cereal (such as Kellogg's All-Bran Complete Wheat Flakes cereal)
3/4 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine caramels and milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal and peanuts.

Using wet hands (to avoid sticking), spread the mixture in an ungreased 7-by-11-inch baking pan, pressing into an even layer. Allow to cool for 20 minutes, then cut into 15 bars.
