Cocoa peanut squares
A NEW merry mix-up of America’s 2 favorite flavors!
Delicious cocoa and fresh-roasted peanuts…this pair of flavors is tops on America’s treat parade. Now they get together in a heavenly new confection you can make in minutes. Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies supply the chocolaty flavor, Skippy Peanut Butter adds its true peanut taste… and Karo Syrup helps perform the happy marriage. Sweet and frivolous as young love, and equally simple.
No other peanut butter tastes of blends like Skippy in making Cocoa peanut squares!
BE FOREWARNED: while this delectable treat is super-simple to make, don’t try it with any peanut butter but Skippy. No other peanut butter stays fresh, easy to spread, easy to digest, like Skippy. No other tastes exactly like fresh-roasted peanuts. That’s because no other peanut butter is made like Skippy. It’s the only peanut butter made on purpose for grown-ups.
And only Skippy blends so beautifully with other good things to eat. You’ll have fun proving this true and proving you’re the equal of any professional sweets-maker — first time you make delicious Cocoa Peanut Squares. Re-name ’em if you like — maybe after a rich uncle you’re trying to impress. Important thing is to make and enjoy them. Guaranteed habit forming.
