Crispy peanut butter and rice cereal topped with melted chocolate—no baking required. The magic is in the contrast between crunchy and smooth that hits every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 bag semi-sweet choc chips
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- Wheat germ (I think we buy it already toasted?)
Instructions
- Put the sugar and corn syrup over medium heat and cook until sugar dissolves.
- Turn heat to low and melt in the peanut butter and chocolate.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and then Rice Krispies.
- Press into a 9×13 pan and sprinkle with wheat germ.
- That's it! The wheat germ is an unexpected touch, but it makes sort of a crunchy top that's super yummy.
Chef's tips
- Line the pan with foil or parchment before pressing in the mixture for easy, clean removal and slicing.
- Work quickly once the Rice Krispies are stirred in, as the mixture firms up fast — have your pan ready to go.
- For neater slices, let the bars cool completely and use a sharp knife lightly greased or warmed to cut through the layers.
