"Special" K Bars

This recipe was altered from one of Food Allergy Mama's recipes to make it soy free.

Yield: About 36 squares

1 cup dark corn syrup

1 cup granulated sugar

1 (15-ounce) container creamy peanut butter

6 cups crisped rice cereal

2 cups Enjoy Life chocolate chips

Grease a 13 x 9 baking pan. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, simmer syrup and sugar together until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until thoroughly mixed. In a large bowl, combine cereal and peanut butter mixture, and press into prepared baking dish using a rubber spatula.

Place chocolate chips into microwavable dish, and heat on high 45 to 60 seconds, or until melted. Using an offset spatula, spread melted chocolate over the cereal mixture. Let mixture cool completely at room temperature, and cut into small 1-inch squares.

Tip: Add more rice cereal if you like a crunchier bar, and less cereal if you want your bars to be chewier.
