Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
1 cup white syrup (Karo)
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups Rice Krispies

Steps:

  • Melt chips on 50 % power in your microwave in 1 minute intervals. Keep stirring to make sure the chips melt evenly and to avoid baking the chips. Once the chips are melted to a satiny texture spread over top of Rice Krispie mixture. Let cool. Cover and keep in refrigerator if weather is warm.
  • These are sweet, when cutting keep the squares small!
