âI got this recipe from my mother, and itâs now part of my yearly Christmas baking,â writes Denise Moore from Nepean, Ontario. âFor variety, I sometimes form the mixture into balls with chocolate caps. One batch is never enough!â Ingredients:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/4 cup light corn syrup |
2-1/2 teaspoons butter, divided |
1 cup crisp rice cereal |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup and 1-1/2 teaspoons butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in the cereal and pecans. Press into a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and remaining butter; stir until smooth. Spread over cereal mixture; cool. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 8 bars.
