Shelley,
I'm just getting around to copying this recipe that I mentioned in your DD weight-gaining thread. I have to admit that I've never done them myself, but they always seemed appealing!:9
Laurel's Kitchen Peanut Butter Bars
2-3 cups peanut butter (crunchy is best)
1 cup granola OR toasted wheat germ
1 cup dried skim milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup toasted, unsweetened dried coconut OR 1 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup raisins
Optional
chopped dried fruit
toasted sunflower seeds
chopped nuts
Mix cereal, milk powder, sugar, raisins, salt, and optional ingredients. Add enough peanut butter to make the mixture stiff but not crumbly.
Roll mixture into balls, or press on a flat surface by hand or with rolling pin until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. Cover with the coconut or sesame seeds. Store in a covered container in the fridge. Makes about 5 dozen bars.
