Reader Query: Can Cap'n Crunch Cross the Atlantic? II

I was thinking about Laurel's question about finding Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch cereal (or an equivalent), a key ingredient in all my peanut butter cookies, and it hit me. Follow my train of thought: Laurel's in Belgium. Belgium is in Europe. Peanut butter--in any form--is nearly impossible to find in Europe. Oh kukka!

And then I started thinking of Mumma and Puppa and their travels and how Puppa brought those little peanut butter-cracker sandwiches (you know, the ones with the thoroughly unnatural orange color) across the globe.

So, long story short, I don't think any of you readers outside North America will have much luck sourcing the ingredients for my PB&J(onnie) or Inside-Out Peanut Butter Cup cookies. Sorry! The best I could find was a "European" PB cookie, but this product's European parentage and availability is dubious at best.

Hi from England, loving the cookies and finding it a fun challenge to work out some of the ingredients and measures - I mean "cups" and "sticks" for crying out loud :-)

The picture on that Amazon link actually looks like peanut butter cookies I've seen over here in UK supermarkets so if they work and I'm not misremembering then we should be set!

Thanks, Tony! I'll have to do a post on U.S.-to-metric conversions. One quick bit of info that might help (or not!): 2 stick of butter = 1 cup. I think the peanut butter cookies in the link will work in place of the Cap'n Crunch cereal. But if you can find the PB Cap'n Crunch, give that a go. Cheerio!
