Ingredients

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup corn syrup

1 tbsp butter

2 cups Rice Krispies

1 cup salted peanuts

1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

In a medium pot over medium-low heat melt peanut butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and butter; once melted allow to gently bubble.

Remove from heat and add Rice Krispies and salted peanuts. Mix well then press into a greased (I use butter) 8- or 9-inch square dish.

Pour semi-sweet chocolate chips onto the still-hot peanut layer and wait a minute for the chips to soften – then, as they melt, spread evenly to create a chocolate top layer. Let cool and cut into 20-25 squares before the chocolate gets too hard.

(Tip: you can throw this into the freezer to speed up the firming of the chocolate – about 10 to 15 minutes – but you still want it somewhat pliable for cutting.)
