Provided by Brandie @ The Country Cook

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup creamy peanut butter
20 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter, set aside.
  • Place the rest of the butter (that you used to grease the pan with) along with the other stick of butter and place them into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until melted.
  • Into the bowl with the melted butter add the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and peanut butter.
  • Stir until combined well.
  • Immediately spread peanut butter mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth it out. Place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
  • While the peanut butter layer sets in the freezer, place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted and smooth, do not overcook.
  • Spread the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture.
  • Place it back into the freezer until the chocolate is just set but not frozen, about 10-15 minutes. If they're totally frozen, it's too hard to cut into bars.
  • Cut immediately into squares and serve.

Time 22m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup or 1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup reduced-fat peanut butter (or can use regular peanut butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dark raisin (or can use either 1/2 cup chopped nuts or 1/2 cup seeds or 1/2 cup coconut)
1/3 cup mini chocolate chip (to prevent melting refrigerate or freeze the chocolate chips before mixing in)

Steps:

  • lightly grease 11 x 7-inch, can use a 13 x 9-inch baking dish but you will have a thinner bar.
  • In a large bowl combine Rice Krispies cereal, oats and raisins.
  • In a saucepan stir the corn syrup or honey and brown sugar until just at a boil.
  • Immediately remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
  • Pour over the dry ingredients in the bowl; mix to combine.
  • Mix in mini chocolate chips (if using) work fast the mixture hardens quickly.
  • Transfer the mixture into prepared baking dish, then using slightly wet hands push evenly down into the pan.
  • While the mixture is still soft, for easier slicing take a sharp knife and slice into desired size bars.
  • Chill until firm.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth, velvety texture. Crunchy peanut butter will give the squares a more rustic, grainy texture.
  • If you don't have rice cereal, you can use crushed graham crackers or corn flakes instead. Just make sure to crush them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • If you want a sweeter treat, you can add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture.
  • For a more decadent dessert, you can drizzle the squares with melted chocolate or caramel sauce.
  • These squares can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
