Category: Bars
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

6 cups Rice Chex (or other crispy cereal)
1 & 1/4 cups salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 & 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 ounces milk chocolate

Butter bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the two short sides. Butter the parchment.

Place cereal and peanuts in a large bowl. Mix together with your hands until combined.

Place brown sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Stir together and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil for one minute. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until combined and smooth.

Pour sugar mixture over cereal mixture. Stir gently until cereal is coated with sugar mixture. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Allow to cool to room temperature, or place in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Once cereal has cooled, melt chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle melted chocolate over bars. Allow chocolate to set.

Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into bars.
