Ok, here is the recipe for Peanut Butter Honeys from a magazine I read way back in 1980.

3/4 cup peanut butter (Note: I use crunchy PB)
1 cup honey (Note: I use about half a cup)
pinch of salt
2 + 1/2 cups of rice bubbles

1. Mix together PB, honey & salt, cook over gently boiling water, stirring constantly until well blended. (Note: I just heat it in a saucepan on a very low heat and stir. It doesn't take very long.)

2. Remove from heat, stir in rice bubbles.

3. The recipe says to spoon it into paper sweet cases but I just put it in a slice tin, smooth it into an even layer of about 2.5 cm/1 inch high and slice it when it has set in the frig. It also says to put half a glace cherry or angelica on each portion but I never bothered doing that.

Chill until firm then eat and enjoy.

I would say it is a healthy treat except it is extremely moreish so I have to stop myself from eating too much. Even more moreish when thrown into melted chocolate and divided into portions or a layer and chilled until set.

Question: how on earth do people with peanut allergies make it through life without being bored of food? I know there are nut butter substitutes like cashew butter but the flavour is not quite the same as peanuts.
