You’ll never look at Rice Krispies Treats the same way again after trying these nutty three-tiered cookie, marshmallow and cereal bars. —Denise Kirsch, McLeansboro, Illinois
Ingredients:
1 package (17-1/2 ounces) peanut butter cookie mix
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips
2/3 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 cups rice krispies
2 cups salted peanuts
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups miniature marshmallows
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cookie mix, oil, water and egg. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until set. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the chips, corn syrup and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Rice Krispies, peanuts and vanilla.
3. Sprinkle marshmallows over crust. Bake 1-2 minutes longer or until marshmallows begin to puff. Spread cereal mixture over top. Cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into bars. Yield: 2 dozen.
