Here are the kitchen supplies needed to make this recipe:

  • Plate
  • wax paper
  • 1 mixing bowl

  • 1 saucepan
  • Spoon to stir a hot mixture

    • Ingredients to make the “Sleepy’s Quick Energy Nuggets”:

    • 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
    • 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
    • 1/4 cup raspberry jam
    • 5 marshmallows
    • M&M candies

    Directions:

  • Cover a plate with waxed paper. Then, measure 1 cup of the graham cracker crumbs into a mixing bowl and the remaining 1/4 cup into a small bowl. Add the mini chocolate chips (if you’re using them) to the large bowl of crumbs. Set the plate and both bowls aside for now.
  • Heat the peanut butter, raspberry jam, and marshmallows in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring continually, just until the mixture melts and becomes a smooth sauce.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir the sauce into the cup of graham cracker crumbs.
  • Using clean hands, roll a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into a ball. Then roll the ball in the reserved crumbs and set it on the waxed paper. Repeat this step with the rest of the crumb mixture.
  • Gently push an M&M down into the center of each ball. Makes 12.
