Instructions

- Stir in peanut butter until the mixture is smooth.
- Add Frosted Flakes, stirring until well coated.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the marshmallows and margarine are completely melted and smooth before adding the peanut butter. If you're looking for a nut-free option, you can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor, while a drizzle of chocolate on top can elevate your Tiger Bites. These are perfect for a fun snack or treat.
Serving Suggestions
These Tiger Bites are great as a sweet snack on their own or can be served alongside fresh fruit for a balanced treat. They pair beautifully with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage. For special occasions, consider cutting them into fun shapes or drizzling melted chocolate on top for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Tiger Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If they become too hard, you can microwave them for a few seconds to soften them slightly before serving. Avoid refrigeration as it can make them sticky and hard to cut.
