CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH BARS
My twist on rice crispy bars includes crunchy crushed pretzels. Then I top them with a creamy peanut butter coating and rich chocolate topping. Garnished with peanuts and even more pretzels, I don't think I'd ever go back to plain old bars again. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: For the best results, use high-quality peanut butter, chocolate, and butter. This will make a big difference in the taste of your candy bars.
- Don't overcook the sugar mixture: Keep a close eye on the sugar mixture as it cooks. Overcooking it will make the candy bars too hard and brittle.
- Be careful when handling the hot sugar mixture: The sugar mixture is very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself. Use a heat-resistant spatula to stir the mixture and a silicone mat to protect your countertop.
- Let the candy bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
