Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, add the crispy rice cereal.
Step 5
Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 6
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips while the mixture is still warm, allowing them to melt slightly for a marbled effect.
Step 7
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 8
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer.
Step 9
Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
Step 10
Once set, cut the mixture into 12 equal-sized bars or squares and serve.
Step 11
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
