As a child I remember that we used puffed rice to make some squares, but have not found a recipe on Zaars, so I have changed one of the recipes to work with making them with puffed rice cereal. The time given as cooking, is actually the setting time. Hope you enjoy them.
Ingredients:
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
3/4-1 cup peanut butter
8 -9 cups puffed rice cereal
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Bring the syrup and sugar to a boil in a sauce pan. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, mix well.
2. In a large mixing bowl mix the syrup mixture and cereal together, starting with 8 cups of cereal and adding the additional cup if needed. Press mixture into a 9x13-inch pan.
3. Melt chocolate chips together in a small saucepan on the stove or place the chips in a micro safe bowl, microwaving them on MED for about 2 minutes. Remove and stir until smooth. Spread the chocolate on top of squares.
4. Let set at room temperature for a couple of hours, cut into squares and store at room temp in an air tight container.
5. If stored in the fridge they will become VERY hard.
