Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Bars
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 ⅓ cups creamy peanut butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
Topping:
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Spread a 9x13 inch pan with butter, or spray with cooking spray.
- Combine the sugar, salt, and corn syrup in a large pot. Cook and stir over medium heat just until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla; stir until melted. Stir in the crisp rice cereal.
- Use wet hands to press the cereal mixture into the prepared pan.
- Combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small glass bowl. Cook at half power, stirring in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the top of the bars. Chill for about an hour, or until the chocolate sets.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- If you use chunky peanut butter, you will need 1 3/4 - 2 cups, or the bars will be dry.
- You can store leftover treats in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature, longer in the refrigerator. I recommend using parchment paper or wax paper between layers.
