Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares
Ingredients
4 cups Rice Krispies* Original cereal
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/3 cup butter melted
340 g semisweet chocolate (about 12 oz), chopped
Description
Rice cereal gives the classic combo of chocolate and peanut butter a satisfying crunch. The trick to making these easy squares is working quickly—otherwise, the sugar may harden before you press the mixture into the pan.
Directions
Line 8-inch (2 L) square cake pan with parchment paper. Add cereal to large bowl. Set aside.
In small saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup and 1/3 cup water to boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil, without stirring, until consistency of maple syrup, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter and butter until smooth. Pour over cereal; stir until well combined. Scrape into prepared pan, smoothing top. Let cool to room temperature.
In heatproof bowl set over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate; pour over cereal mixture, smoothing top. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Let stand for 30 minutes before slicing.
