I just received this recipe from a guy friend who made it and brought it to a Christmas party this year. He said his mother had made this recipe ever since he could remember. I like the classic Rice Krispies Treats, but these are even better!
I just made these treats today, and I am having a hard time not eating any more of them. I already ate two – I just hope there will be some left when my son and his family come tonight! I took a picture, and it is at the bottom of this recipe.
3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cups white corn syrup (Karo Light)
1/2 stick butter
3/4 cup Peter Pan Honey Crunch Peanut Butter
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Mix sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a pan, and bring to a gentle boil.
Remove from heat.
Add peanut butter and mix.
Gently mix in Rice Krispies.
Divide into cookie-sized portions.
Let set.
