Recipe BackgroundThanks go to my friend Nancy G. for the inspiration for this recipe for Rice Crispy Bars. The addition of chocolate and peanut butter give a different twist on this old favorite. Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Bars1/2 cup light corn syrup1/4 cup brown sugar 1 cup peanut butter (either crunchy or smooth) 1 (12 ounce) package, semi-sweet chocolate chips 6 cups crispy rice cereal Butter a 9"x13"x2" baking dish and set aside. Pour the rice cereal into a large mixing bowl. Then, in a medium sized saucepan, combine the first four ingredients over medium low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully combined and the chips are completely melted. Pour this mixture over the rice cereal and mix until all of the cereal is completely coated with the chocolate mixture. I find it's easier to use two large spoons and toss the mixture like you are tossing a salad. Quickly, pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Chill for about 1 hour and cut into small squares.
