This recipe was in the Jan/Feb 2009 issue of Cooking Light magazine. It was in their Lighten Up section - where a reader can submit a favorite recipe and COoking Light will make it healthier. This was very tasty and the kids LOVED them. Next time I might try and sub honey or brown rice syrup for the HFCS. I also increased the chocolate a teeny bit and spread it over the bars instead of drizzling it. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups peanut butter |
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup light corn syrup |
1 1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts, chopped |
3 1/2 cups flaked whole grain cereal, crushed (like total) |
cooking spray |
1/3 cup dark chocolate, chopped |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook 4 minutes or until it just begins to a boil, stirring constantly.
2. Remove from heat; stir in peanuts & cereal.
3. Spread mixture evenly i a 13x9 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
4. Melt chocoalte in microwave and drizzle over bars.
5. Score into 36 bars while warm.
