Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars of Awesomeness Ingredients:
- 6 cups rice or corn Chex cereal
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Topping Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips or peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars of Awesomeness
1. First, measure your Chex cereal in a large bowl and set aside. Grease a 9×13 pan and set this aside as well.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and corn syrup until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat, and stir in 1 1/2 cups of the creamy peanut butter.
3. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal. I like to mix this all together with my hands to coat the cereal really well. Use wax paper so the mixture doesn’t burn you and the cereal doesn’t stick to your hands. Spread the cereal and peanut butter mixture in the greased 9×13 pan.
4. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the 2 cups of milk chocolate or peanut butter chips, 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter, and the vanilla on high in 30 second increments. Stir after each 30 seconds until it’s smooth.
5. Spread over the cereal and allow it to rest on the counter for a few hours so the topping can harden.
Yum, right?! I do think so!
These bars are SO easy, and I am certain your family will love them. Or, if you make them for me, I’ll just eat all of them!
